Keep your 850 and Avatex HC. The Avatex HC has all the S registers available 
while the SX-212 has some missing. (Never were placed in, listed as RESERVED)
While the SX-212 looks smart, it's still not as smart as most other modems that people use\have.

Now if you did'nt have the 850, i'd say get the SX-212 then find the P\D 
program called " SX Companion " which will allow you to use the SX via the 
SIO port at both 300 and 1200 Bps
