 I have just spent a couple of disappointing days trying to get a
 2400baud modem working with my Microport system.  Aside from problems
 which seem outright bugs with the modem (e.g. didn't always go on hook
 when the callers carrier dropped, occasionally thought it was recieving
 data even though there was no connection, etc, etc, ETC!) the major
 problem seemed to be that right after making a connection with an
 incoming call it would drop CD while it transmitted it's connect
 message and this would cause getty to die.  For obvious reasons I
 don't want to leave CD forced permanently on.

 Therefore I am soliciting suggestions as to good (preferably inexpensive)
 modems to use.  I am partial to external units.  I would particularily
 appreciate hearing from other Microport users as to which modems they
 have found work well.  Thanks in advance for any infomation.....
