I disagree.  The Trailblazer manual is indeed thicker than any other
modem manual I've read, but once I had my uucico, L.sys, and L-devices
set up, the Trailblazer has been the most reliable and predictable
modem I've ever worked with, better than Hayes 1200, 2400, and Vadic
2400's.  If only all the modems on the far end of my uucp connections
were as reliable...
