   Not to start "modem wars" here, I've had very good luck with my
US Robotics 2400.  The only problem I ever had was with a bad solder
joint on a switch, and the service folks walked me through the schematic
to find it when I told them I didn't want to send it back.

   The USR is on 24 hours a day here at Prairie, and is used for both
dial-in and dial-out.  The only problems I've seen are a slight delay
in locking up with Hayes 1200s which dial in (some, but not all),
and perhaps a little less immunity to noise than I'd like. 

   I've heard that the Vadic is a little better quality.  I wouldn't
be surprised.  The USR is quite a bit cheaper, I think.
