It is a great modem! There is no noise whatsoever and being able to save the configuration in non-volitile memory is very nice. I've used the CTS2400 for about 4 months and had no problems/ Jim

I find puting a requester in it's own window very handy! You have a seperate IDCMP for it and you don't mess up your original window! You may also set the REQSET bit and do a Wait after putting up the Request. That way you will not have any trouble…

Yeah, just a 14 disk full backup, and SCSI format and then when I tried to restore it, it wouldn't restore a single disk. Luckily, I didn't lose anything because I still had all the files on other diskettes. I just had to do a rebuild of all the directories.…

Let's all get this straight, with the Kickstart Eliminator and 512K of RAM you have a total of 768K? Where exactly is that 256K of ram addressed? It would be very nice to never need a Kickstart disk again.
