Is it just my bad luck, or does the Maxwell 2400VP have a real problem
dealing with slightly noisy phone lines?  I just got a 2400VP, and have
been having no end of problems with it.  It's almost unusable at 2400 baud
unless it's in MNP mode; I get all sorts of garbage in both directions on
the phone line.  In MNP mode, there are occasionally very long delays,
hinting that the modem is retransmitting a lot of stuff.  I don't have
problems like this with my Concord CDS 224.

Anyone else have similar experiences?
