I too have had my problems with Anchor modems.  We have both a Signalman
Mark XII and a Volksmodem.  The former has been back to the modem hospital
twice in its two year history.  Each time I waited nearly a month before
c}Getting em back.  The Voldksmodem is only a month or so old.

The Mark XII seems to be remarkably resistant to noise at 1200 baud, more so
even Hayes in my experience.  The Volksmodem has its troubles in this regard.
On the other hand, the Volksmodem has a couple of handy switches that allow
you to set how the modem handles the DTR and CD lines.
