About a month and a half ago, I purchased a BIZCOMP
Intellimodem XT. It is a 1200 baud half-card modem,
that BIZCOMP claims will work with ANY communications
software currently out there for the IBM PC/XT or AT.

Of course I haven't tried it with ALL, but I have tried it
with a few, and it works perfectly. It comes with its
own software, of course, which is OK -- but cannot emulate
any terminals. (A built-in requirement for my job.) However,
it is a remarkable peice of hardware, and the company was quite
friendly and easy to work with. It was $219.00, but if you
don't need a short slot, they have the Intellimodem ST for
$199.00. (Same thing, just built for a long slot.)

One of its neater features, is that it accurately interprets
signals 1/3 the power level required by Hayes. (Receive 
sensitivity: -50 dBm.) What this means, is that all you
MCI and SPRINT subscribers out there no longer have to
worry about loss of trasmission...this was a problem I experienced
with the Hayes Smartmodem II.)

Just a plug for a good product, nothing more...
