In front of me I have  four modems.
	A non-functional  U.S. Robotics. Password. 1200 modem.
	A flakey Racal Vadic 212 1200 baud something or other.
	A good Hayes 2400.
	An Excellant U.S. Robotics Courier 2400.

The Password modem is currently configured for a computer
which I do not have. Between the Courier and the Hayes,
I like the Courier better because it has several rom-ed help
menu, and a quick reference card  decal-ed on the bottom of the
modem ( a good place for it ). To me, these are indications of
quality. I got both the both Hayes and  U.S. Robotics
as soon as they were available. Both companies 
have had to supply me with new Rom's to correct firmware bugs.

Overal all I prefer the  U.S. Robotics.
