One sort of neat feature that the sales brochure on the Telebit
modems didn't point out is that the Trailblazer version 3.x and
Trailblazer Plus can be programmed to attack dial from the non
volitile directory until they get a connection.  I don't know about
the T-1000, it might have this feature too, but I don't have the
book for the T-1000 here.  The modem can also be set to
automatically attack dial if the carrier is dropped.  These
features are real handy if you're using a trailblazer in a dial-up
link that suffers from either power or phone glitches.

The Trailblazer Plus also has an interface that can be programmed
for bisync operation in an IBM environment.

I also like the fact that the Trailblazer uses an EEPROM for setting
storage, rather than a battery backed RAM.  It seems like the
batteries on the RAM in other modems go dead just about the time
the modem experiences a power outage.

I also like the HST 9624, but I have to give the nod to the
Trailblzers for overall quality and clean interior construction.
