I have the CDS 224 +  (means it will do 2400,1200,300) and use it all the
time.  No problems except at 2400 on a noisy line without error correction.

Yes, you can use the Hayes program sets but I have not seen any need to and
haven't used them.  I stay with the cds commands.  I use it with kermit and
crosstalk, using crosstalk for vt100 emulation (which I don't like but it's
the only vt100 emulator i have).  I use kermit for transferring files to
Unix, Vms, and RSTS systems.  

I also understand that the Tektronix incoming modems at 2400 baud are the
CDS 224 models.

In summary, I'm satisfied with it.
