A while ago, I switched from a US Robotics to a Hayes 1200 Baud modem, and
noticed that the Hayes "saw" a lot more noise than the USR.  Now, I do not
think that the lines have changed in quality, rather that there is some
difference in the modems, either by design or calibration.

Can anyone "educate" me/us in that regard, please?  Also, if anyone has any
concrete suggestions on if and how I might tweak that Hayes Smartmodem of the
stand-alone garden variety, to become more "tolerant", it would make my year!

Thanks,		---Werner
