On the subject of Avatex modems, I had the oppurtunity to try the 1200hc 
modem. It is a far better modem in my estimation as it: 
	1) Has a speaker 
	2) Is Hayes compatible.

The one thing I noticed is that it seems slower than other modems. I also
have access to the Everex Evercom II internal 300/1200 baud modem, which seems 
noticably faster than the external Avatex.

Can anyone confirm this? Is it possible to have two modems that are 1200 baud
operate at DIFFERENT speeds?

Is the answer to this going to be like 200 cps printers (most of which are 
about 130-150 cps printers)?

Also, anyone tried the 2400-baud Leading Edge modem that sells here (on the
beach) for $289?

Hang loose,
