I have seen much discussion and commentary on the net regarding
the performance of Trailblazer Plus modems. Indeed, it
would appear that the net (at least the high volume sites) are
irretrievably hooked on them. This is *not* a flame; however, this
observation causes the following question...

It is said that, mouldering in another department here, there
exists an unused *original* Trailbalzer. Before I start trying to
lay my paws on it (and putting in the effort to get it net-ready), I ask:

Is it worth it? Is it fully/partially/not_at_all compatible
with Trailblazer Pluses? Is it too painful to consider using? What
character flaws does it have (especially the ones that caused the
creation of the Trailblazer Plus :-)) ? Rumour has it that this
particular unit does not establish connections (via autodial) very well,
but is solid once the connection is made. Is this typical? Is anyone
else using *original* Trailblazers?

advTHANKSance...
