Thanks to everyone (I had about a dozen replies) who provided opinions on the
Avatex 1200 (non-HC) modem.  The consensus seemed to ba that for the price it
was an adequuate modem.  The lack of a speaker was seen as an inconvenience
and the inability to program an S-register as a limitation for some special
applications.  One respondent had concerns about its performance on noisy
lines.  For the price US$88 it doesn't seem a bad deal.  In the end I decided
to go for a Smarteam 1200AT which was available for US$98, and seemed better
value for money, with none of the previous limitations (I hope!).
                                Thanks again     Gordon Marwood
