Thanks for any help in this regard. > Jim Luby They do that from time to time, I don't know why they don't advertise like everyone else and when I asked them they didn't know either. These are good modems. I have four of them. You may expect to see some anomalies if you use them with UNIX but that doesn't affect you unless you have a "teapot" UNIX site. If that is the case, email me and we'll discuss it. It's the best internal DOS modem I've ever tried. Everyone to whom I have recommended them is still talking to me :-) even the one fellow who needed his warranty. You might want to pitch the software (once you set the clock) but the modem is itchy-ban A nomba one. -- Bill Kennedy usenet {killer,att,rutgers,sun!daver,uunet!bigtex}!ssbn!bill internet bill@ssbn.WLK.COM
