I don't remember the details, but Computers And Electronics Magazine (the
old Popular Electronics), in the last year before their demise, published
an article reviewing all of the then-new 2400 baud, and several 1200 baud
modems.  After extensive testing (including the author calling from various
hotel-room phones), the author concluded that at the time, The USR Courier
was the best overall, but the Hayes 2400 was better in cutting through
extremely noisy environments.  In the 1200s, The Hayes stood out (the older
one), but the USR Password beat all of the other competition by a long shot.
Like I said, I don't remember the issue or the name of the article, but it
had a lot of insight at the time.  Check in your favorite library -- C & E
only lasted for a couple of years.
