- Before I invest in a swiftlink or brave an electronics project (to build the
- datapump), I'd like some feedback about these modems:
-
- Sent to me (after I responded to an ad for a modem for sale):
- > I have one that I am trying to sell (I have upgraded to 28.8). I actually
- > have two: a Hayes 14.4 fax/modem and a Practical Peripherals 14.4 fax/modem.
- > Both are error correcting and have data compression.
-
- Are either of these good modems? (One's hayes, so I'd assume it's good- but
- sometimes clones are better than the originals)
-
- What questions should I ask?
- Should I check compatibility first? (this would be tough without a swiftlink)
-
- The reason why I'm so cautious is because I have a 2400bps modem that won't
- cooperate with either my computer, my software, or the phone lines (I have to
- use my old 1200bps).
-
- I appreciate (beforehand) any help.
