I have used a Courier 2400 for about nine months without any problems. The
price was right, it seems well designed, and the manual is good.  I recently
called their customer service number (800 DIAL USR) and asked for a ROM update.
They mailed me a new EPROM and a stamped mailer for the old EPROM at no
charge.  I have rarely experienced customer service as good.

I do not claim that the Courier 2400 will meet all needs, but it is not a
piece of junk as Mike Chepponis implied.
