 Request for input:

 I am considering purchasing Multitech's 2400 baud modems (224's) to serve on
 the dial-in ports of a uVAX system (via a Micom port selector).  My major rea-
 son for purchasing 2400-baud units is to provide better noise "supppresion"
 for our dial-in users, most of which are using 1200-baud Hayes units.

 I would appreciate comments from people re: a) the quality of the MultiTech
 modems themselves, b) the transparency (to software and  hardware) of their
 substitution for Hayes units, and c) alternatives to the MultiTechs.

 Our major concern is to provide decent connections to long-distance callers,
 many of whom experience noise problems.  Our second concern is that we would
 like to be able to replace the existing Hayes units with a minimum of effort.

   thank you,  greg pavlov, fstrf, amherst, ny
