Should I or shouldn't I?  I am looking into the purchase of a modem to
replace this 300 baud beast I'm using now.  I have the option of getting a
USR 2400 for around $380, but I've heard that these things are unreliable.
Am I better off sticking with 1200 baud in the more reliable USR Password
1200 or should I try the 2400?  Am I better off with a Hayes 2400 unit
(provided this is really a 300/1200/2400 unit).   How well built are the
USR 2400 units?

I have talked to a couple of SYSOPS but these are only two owners so far.
I have heard more bad stories.  At least I know that Password works.
