The everex is good for most things, BUT NOT FOR UNIX DIALIN use!!

I have one, and if someone call at any speed other than 2400 baud
the modem will "lock" at 1200/300 baud and forget 2400 baud compleatly.

When I called support they said "oh yea, well we fixed that in the
MNP version, want to buy that now???".  I said forget it!!  At this
time i hardwired DTR inside the modem to the RESET pin of the 8031
control computer, and at least i can get 2400 baud back on hangup
but not without UNIX complaining about not being able to flush the
tty buffers (UNIX wait 2 second's after DTR activate, but the modem
takes 3 seconds to self-test after DTR is released.  I plan on adding
a one-shot to the reset from DTR signal)  Now if the would fix the
program in EPROM, that would be great, i would spend the $50 or so
they might charge for the new chip, but untill then FORGET useing
the everex for a answer modem.
