Has anyone heard about this modem?? Is the price a good one? Any help would be appreciated... Thanks, -Doug Reuben@Weslyn.Bitnet ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- 2400 Baud Modems ================ Lets face it, 1200 baud and 300 baud are totally out of date. Slow and sluggish. Its time to move up. Everyone on the block is getting 2400 baud. You may think that 9600 baud would be nice also, but that's a big jump up to about $1000 just for a 9600 bps modem. There are many "cheap" 2400 baud modems available now. But there is at least one inexpensive trustable modem. Practical Peripherals Practical Modem 2400 SA The modem that includes all of the features listed below can be available to you for $198 (+ $4 shipping/handling). Sorry, no credit cards. Information follows: The Practical Modem 2400SA is guaranteed to be 100% Hayes(tm) compatible. In fact, the PM 2400SA is so compatible that even Hayes' own Smartcom II(tm), version 2.1 can't tell the difference! Yes, compatibility is guaranteed...but so is everything else. The Practical Modem 2400SA is backed by an unequalled guarantee...a full 5 YEARS REPAIR/REPLACEMENT GUARANTEE! In the unlikely event the modem fails to perform properly, Practical Peripherals will repair or replace it at no charge to you.

OH - Off-Hook AA - Auto Answer PROUDLY MADE IN THE USA HS - High Speed ============================================================================== Please note that since this is an external modem, it will work on any system that has a serial port or a serial card. However, you need to purchase an RS-232 (serial) cable for your computer. Some computers (such as the apple //e) do not include built in serial cards, thus you must buy one. To date, there are no internal 2400 bps modems for the apple //e anyway. A serial card will cost you approximately $75 and a serial cable will cost you $10-$15 ============================================================================== I have looked through many computer magazines and have called many mail order warehouses, and I have not found a lower price than this ANYWHERE in the country.
