I, too, have the Avatex 1200.  It is a remarkable value that does exactly
what it is advertised to do.  BUT, I do have one minor complaint.  It does
not have a built in audio monitor.  The Hayes modem I use at work has this
function and once used to it...

It does allow a phone to be connected to it, so through carefull handling,
I can monitor the beginning of the call without *hanging up on myself :-)*

A couple of times I have called a worng number by accident.  If I hadn't
been monitoring, I would have had an irrate housewife complaining about
crank calls.
