- spyder@admiral.uucp (Eric) posted (twice) soliciting comments from PPI modem
- owners, citing his own negative experiences.
-
- Lest anyone think all owners of Practical Peripherals 14400 FXSA modems are
- unhappy....
-
- I find the Practical Peripherals 14400FXSA modem to be a terrific modem. It is
- the primary modem at my host, L'AISON (313-647-2634), and thousands of calls
- from a wide variety of other HS modems have been answered and connections
- negotiated. The host software (FirstClass) utilizes the full bandwidth of both
- channels in the v.32bis connection, allowing simultaneous uploads and
- downloads at high speeds.
-
- The LCD readout is a valuable asset for a host system, as it provides a great
- deal of information about each connection that may not otherwise be available.
-
-
- In my situation, the PPI is connected to Plain-Old-Telephone-Service (POTS) on
- the telephone end, and to a high-speed serial i/o card at the DCE/DTE end.
-
- The modem has been in service since approximately July 1, 1992. It is covered by a lifetime warranty.
