I certainly agree.

All 4 of the modems I use regularly (a Prometheus 1200 RS-232, a
Prometheus 1200 Apple internal, an Avatex 1200 RS-232, and a Hayes
1200 IBM internal) are "Hayes-compatible".

The only one of the 4 that I have compatibility problems with is the
Hayes...  :-)  (for the curious:  It does funky stuff with the CTS
and RTS lines, and doesn't hangup when one of them (I forget which
one) is dropped, like it should, and it DOES hangup for some screwey
reason when you go into connect mode from command mode in Kermit...
Basicly, I don't use that machine for telecom any more...  :-)
