I am investigating the purchase of a new v.32bis modem for my (MS-DOS)
Waffle BBS system.  (I already have an Intel 14.4EX modem on the
system, but my wife is starting to require it for her `money-earning'
software development PC, so I'm looking for a new modem for my BBS.)  I
am considering the ZyXEL U-1496E, the Digicom Scout Plus, and the AT&T
Paradyne DataPort 14.4/Fax Modem (all three available via sysop
purchase plans).

Do you have any opinions or recommendations, either positive or
negative, on how these (or other) modems operate with a system running
Waffle 1.65, MS-DOS 5.0, and BNU 1.70?  If so, please let me know!
(I'll post a summary of any email replies that I receive.) Thanks in
advance!!
