I am reposting the following to net.comsumers because I had no response
from net.periphs. Also, I heard there was a discussion about DAK going
on over here.

I have been asked to get a 1200 baud smart modem for as little money as
possible.  Here is one that I found that sounds like a good deal, but is it?

Modem: 1200 Baud Smart Duck
Price: $169 + $6 P&H
Available from: DAK Industries Inc.
	        Winter 1986 catalog, page 9
Made by: ADC, division of BSR
	 (Maybe I'm dumb, but what is ADC? -or BSR even, although the letters
           sound familiar.)
Description: 1200 baud modem, Hayes compatible, with
	     "more screen displays and a help menu",
	     and "day, date and time, an extra phone jack and
	     auto tone/pulse switching". Also has an auto-redial
	     feature.

Does anyone have this modem, and if so, how do you like it? Is
it reliable? Does it differ from a Hayes Smartmodem 1200 in any way?
Since we already have a Hayes, life would be easiest if the new one
was Hayes compatible. If the above modem is no good, do you have any
other suggestions? 

Please respond by mail. I will post a summary if there is worth while info.

Thank you.
