I received my Avatex 1200 earlier in the week, and mine also
has a sticking power switch.  I think it's not quite centered
in the front-panel hole, but it's a minor problem and I won't
bother with corrective surgery until the warranty expires.
(It's aready loosening up on its own.)

The modem lacks quite a few HAYES commands, but the only one I
might miss is the "+++" escape.  There seems to be no way for
the local computer to break the phone connection.  This is no
problem when a person is sitting there and can push a switch, but
it means your computer shouldn't make calls unattended unless the
remote system is smart enough to drop the line at the proper point.

I also miss having a built-in speaker, but I'll learn to live without
it.  (It helps only when things DON'T work!)  For $99, I'm satisfied.
