Steve, 

   Yes, the SX212 is FULLY Hayes compatible.  You can even use it with non-
Atari computer equipment if you want to.  If I were you, I'd keep the 850 and
your modem-cable; you just unplug that Avatex, plug in the SX212, and do what
you were doing before-- only BETTER!  I'm running this combination of 850 and
SX212, using the standard Atari R: handler and Kermit65, to type this very mes-
sage.  So it does work, and quite well at that.
