I have a CTS on loan from a friend, and although it performs flawlessly,
I can't believe the lights they chose to include.  Although it has 8 leds,
it doesn't have RD (receiving data), SD (sending data), or AA (auto answer
mode).  It does have PW (power) and MR (modem ready) which are redundant.
Also, the modem has no speaker.  If you can live with this, the modem seems
reasonably well built, and at least as resistant to line noise as my USR
Courier 1200.
