Does the sx212 support error checking?  I use my avatex and the 850 to
call school, and I get a lot of line noise.  Or do I have to go to a
higher baud rate before the modem will support error checking?  And the
problem is I have to give the 850 back to the person who let me borrow
it, that is why I was asking about the sx212.
