	In evaluating 2400 bps rack-mount modems for regular dial-in and
uucp dial-out use, we've narrowed the list down to the Concord Data Systems
CDS-224 and the Multi-Tech MultiModem-224.  Both are in the $400-500 per
card price range and seem to have all the standard 212A/V.22bis features.
Both claim Hayes compatability (which isn't something I would brag about
myself).  The Multi-Tech has optional class 3 MNP error correction.

	Anybody out there have experience with either of these units (good
or bad) that they would like to share?  I'm especially interested in
hearing about the Multi-Tech because I've never heard of them before a
couple of weeks ago.
