I posted not too long ago about this modem, and have received a lot of
replies, both over the network and via e-mail.  Thanks to everyone
who responded!

One question, though, that wasn't completely answered.  Does this modem
recognize a busy signal and do automatic re-dialing after some period?

i currently have the DAK (ADC) 1200 bauder, and it has this feature.
I'm used to it!

Thanks...

Rich

   Yes, SmartCom does get a busy signal back from it at then SmartCom redials
the modem.  The bottom line is that if a Hayes does it then this modem does
it.

It definately recognizes busy signals -- I have one at home, and had to
disable that feature via Hayes commands so that auto-redial would work with
an older version of VersaTerm.  VersaTerm's auto-redial (as of 3.20) now
knows what to do with PP's "BUSY" response, and works accordingly.  I don't
know about PP doing auto-redial; all I know is that with VersaTerm, it does
auto-redial (in the background under MultiFinder, yet!).

I realize now what the term "attack dialer" means...

1. Practical Peripherals 2400 baud modem

hi,

  can anyone comment on the Practical Peripherals 2400 baud modem being
offered by MacConnection for, I think, $189?  

  I'd like to buy a 2400 baud modem soon, and am concerned about the
following things:

  - AT command set compatiblility.

  - noise immunity.

  - ability to do pulse or tone dialing.

  - and, most important, the ability to mix pulse and tone in the
same dial command.  for example, the command I use to log into the
computer at work is:  ATDP####### W DT######## because my home line is
pulse but the second dial tone (after the "W"ait command) requires tone.

I assume that capability comes with the AT command set.

Any help is appreciated; I'd like to keep the amount under $200.

Rich
