I tried to e-mail this, but our system has problems going through lll-crg
sometimes, so I had to resort to posting.

If you're interested, "PC World" magazine reviewed four 2400 baud modems
in its May, 1986 issue (Hayes, US Robotics, Novation, Cermetek) and
leaned heavily in favor of the Novation modem.

"PC" magazine also reviewed several 2400 baud modems at about the same
(sorry, can't locate the exact issue). They seemed to like the Hayes, but
I have observed the same heat problems with the Hayes 2400s that you men-
tioned for the 1200s. 

I just purchased a CTS 2424ADH (appr. $300, about 90% Hayes compatible).
I couldn't afford anything more expensive, and it was favorably reviewed
in the above-mentioned "PC" article. It seems to stay relatively cool, but
I have only had it for about 2 months, so I can't really comment on its
reliability. It comes with a 2 year warranty, though, and has suited my 
needs just fine.
