From personal experience with two of these modems..

FASTCOMM TURBO (19.2K) ..
They don't work with any known protocol (can't count ymodem/g
since they removed the error correction) ..

I understand that they finally got xmodem working on them,
but you have to pay for their rom upgrade..

The MF tones are slightly off frequency,making it difficult
to access certain pbx systems.

One of our modems started emitting so much spurious noise in
the RF spectrum that we had to stop using it..

So much for Fastcomm..
