Well Tad, you don't state whether you are using the newer (MNP) Everex or
the old one. We ran two of these (the sans MNP versions) and had to sell
both of them for scrap. They just would not reset back to answer at 2400
once anyone called in at something lower. 

Also, we were not enthralled with the tech support. The attitude then was
"Yeah, we know it does that, just turn it off then back on. No, we don't
have a fix for it, but we will be selling a new modem with MNP that does not
do this. Want to buy one? Exhange? nope sorry, no exhanges."

As far as I am concerned, this modem manufacturer just lost out. We wound up
replacing the modems and selling them them to sites that do dialout only.
From that aspect, yes, the Everex is well suited.
