We had a total of 10 of the units, and sent them back to Novation for a refund 
after about 3 months.

The modems have several things going for them that other manufacturer's could 
well benefit by copying, among them power on diagnostics, and that nifty LCD 
display.

Support from the company, however, was atrocious.  We have switched to the 
Microcom AX2400c's, and have been very impressed with the product and the 
company that stands behind it.  Rock solid, flexible, no noise, and F-A-S-T!  
We are getting about 4800 bps on a 2400 baud connection using the 
switch-to-sync and data compression of MNP Class 5.
