- The only complaint I have is the limited speaker controls: the "L"
- commands (speaker volume) are not implemented, and the "M" commands
- don't include "M3" (speaker off when dialing...). Not exactly a major
- problem...

- The only times I know of that it failed to make high speed connections, was
- when the remote modem was an HST (single standard). I did have some trouble
- when one person tried to connect to it at 2400... but I'm not sure which end
- was causing the problem. The FAX works fine...
-
- One minor problem is that it "flashes" the phone line when I power-up the
- computer. Annoying if someone is using the line for voice...
-

- error-free 14.4K with compression...
