   HI EVERYONE I NEED SOME HELP. I AM BEING ASKED TO EVALUATE A PROCUREMENT
WHERE HAYES 1200B MODEMS WITH SMARTCOM WERE REQUESTED. A VENDOR CAME IN
WITH A PACKAGE PROPOSING A COMPATABLE MODEM CALLED PRACTICAL MODEM 1200
WITH THEIR SOFTWARE FROM A COMPANY CALLED PRACTICAL PERIPHERALS ( NEVER
HEARD OF THEM BEFORE ). MY INTUITION IS TO SAY NO, HOWEVER I NEED SOME
TECHNICAL REASONS IF THERE ARE ANY. MY QUESTION HAS ANYONE HAD EXPERIENCE
WITH THESE BABIES THEY WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH ME? I NEED SOME ADVICE 
GOOD OR BAD IF NEGATIVE IALSO NEED SOME TECHNICAL REASONS WHY THEY AREN'T
AS COMPATABLE AS THE BROCHURE SAYS THEY ARE.
   THANKS IN ADVANCE.---- SEND REPLIES PLEASE TO
