        I want to get a 2400 baud modem for a friend who has a
PC Clone running MSDOS 3.x (x, I believe, equals 2).  I can get
a fairly good price on a Volksmodem and one from Practical Peripherals.
(I hope that I got those  names right).  The Practical Peripherals
cost $20 more.  My friend will probably use Procomm (and perhaps Kermit)
but may want to use other communications programs.  My questions are:
Should I avoid either of these two modems?  and, if the answer to
the first question is no, Is there any reason to prefer one over the
other?
