Does anyone have any experience with the Packard Bell PB2400PLUS modem?
Yesterday I bought one from Service Merchandise and found it very 
intermittent in going on-line.  Once carrier is detected however, it works
fine.  So today, back to the store for another one.  Same story.  The last
time the modem dialed a number,  part of the way through the sequence it
changed to pulse dialing (without being told to do so).  I am afraid this
may be a result of an immature design on Packard Bell's part.  I plan to
call their technical service number tomorrow and get some advice.  Any
recommendations for a (reliable) 2400 BPS modem would be welcome.
