I purchased one of the non-MNP InComm 2400 modems and used it as a
dial-out modem on a Tandy 6000 for over one year.  The one we got
required adding a resistor in series with the 5V regulator to cut the
dissipation to a level where the 5V did not shut off; once done it
worked without problems for about a year.  It then began causing more and
more errors in uucp links and was replaced with a ARK 24K.  The person who
wound up with the modem, however, reports that he is using it without
significant problems - shorter duty cycle?
