I'd like to buy a 2400 baud modems, and I can't decide between the 4 cheapest brands that are carried by Abel Supplies: Avatex ($169.22), Practical Peripherals 2400SA ($188.36), SupraModem 2400 ($143.42) or Packard Bell PB2400 PLUS ($187.16). Does anyone know what different features do the modems have? Are they all Hayes compatible? Other than Hayes compatibility, do they have other features (such as non-volatile memory for phone #s)? Can anyone recommend a particular model? The Supra is the cheapest, but I can't help wondering what's the catch? I'd appreciate any input. Thanks, – Steve –

I have the Avatex 2400 modem and have no complaints. It is %100 Hayes compatible. The price looks good too! Aloha, Clay

Steve, From my own experience…there is no catch, the Supra is a fine modem. I've had one for a few weeks now and it's performed flawlessly. It is Hayes compatible, does have non-volitile storage of parameters and 1 phone number. Don
