Readers,

	I'm finally going to do it!!  After 4 years of suffering with a
300 bps modem that is not compatable with anything else I am going to get
a new one.
	However, I've been away from the 'computer products' market (not
having any money makes window shopping a waste of time) and I really don't
know just what to get.  I would like a few suggestions to fill these
criteria...

1200 b.p.s.
HAYES compatable
Auto pulse and touch tone dialing
functional with a //e upgraded to a //c
reliable, works with alot of different software, and inexpensive

	One suggestion I've received is the Avatex 1200e from Megatronics
in Utah (address unknown) for $85.
	I've seen and add for the Capetronic QT-1200 from Computer Direct
for $79.95 + shipping.  Does anyone know about this??
	Computer Direct also has the Supra Modem 2400 for $159.95 + shipping.
Are there any real good reasons to double the speed at double the expense??

	E-mail or post your suggestions, reasons, or warnings, along with
ordering information, I've got my VISA card all ready.

	And also, if anyone knows what I can do with my old Novation
Apple-Cat 300 bps modem let me know.
