I've recently received an advert and price-list for Bytcom "Contac"
2400-baud modems.  These are V.22bis/V.22 A/B, 212A/103/113 async/sync
modems.  They're stated as being Hayes-compatible, FCC 15B qualified
(suitable for home use), support MNP levels 3 and 4 as an option, and
include an "automatic retraining" feature said to improve performance
on poor-quality phone lines.  They come with a 2-year swap-out
warrantee, which is encouraging.  I can buy one at a corporate
discount rate of $300, plus $90 for the MNP error-correction option if
I would find it useful.

Has anyone out there used these modems (or other Bytcom modems of any
flavor)?  If so, how well have they worked out?  Have any test
comparisons been run?

	advTHANKSance,
