 First let me say that my 1670 (1200 Baud Commodore) Modem has improved
my productivity over my 1650. The software that came with it seems pretty
good and the manual, except for a few typos, is exceptionally good.

 Nevertheless I'm having some minor recurring problems using it with
UNIX (BSD 4.3). It seems to drop linefeeds (from time to time) while in
vnews. ^U isn't quite correct in "vi" either. I have replaced the modem
once already so am confident it isn't a defective unit. I have similar
problems using the "vt100-128" program and VIPterm when @ 1200 baud,
using the vt100 and VIP termcaps respectively. It may well be I'm
doing something wrong. This is nothing a quick ^L can't fix but it is
still irritating

 Is anyone else having these problems? Is there a fix? Again, it has
helped me work a great deal faster but it is so good now that this
minor irritant is really bugging me. Please mail any fixes to the
address below.
