I have had the Practical Peripherals 2400 baud modem for several months now,
and it seem to work just fine.  I've had no problems it at 1200 buad to either
CompuServe, GEnie or Unix systems.  At 2400 baud, the Unix system works fine
again, but I'm have some problem with CompuServe (I think it is the freeware
terminal emulator Term-Plus that is the problem, not the modem).  I haven't
had a chance to try GEnie at 2400 baud.

As for S-registers, it has probably most if not all of the ones in a real
Hayes 2400 baud modem.  I don't have the manual with me, but I've not had
to mess much with it, as the default configuration worked fine with all the
above systems.
