I have had a Courier 2400 for about 8 months and have had no problems
with it.  I have found that when I connect to some systems, I get noise
I've found that if I hang up and call back immediately I usually get a
clear line.  If the connection is noisy, it is VERY noisy, when it is 
not noisy, it works perfectly for hours of connect time.  I always
assumed that this was because of bad lines.  Indeed, some of the
different numbers on the dial in system I was using work better than
others.  Could this be the modem?  When did the new ROM appear in
production units?
  The system above was a 1200 baud system, the only 2400 baud system
I've connected to used another courier 2400 (worked fine, with a 
little noise on rare occasions).
