I beg to differ with this assumption.  I own a PM2400SA modem and use it to
talk to Compu$erve, GEnie, our Pyramid, and a number of local BBSs and have
found it to work extremely well for the three months that I've had it.  I had
a Hayes 1200 before (still do, on the shelf) and it was no more tolerant of
line noise at 1200 than the PM is at 2400.  If you have noise, it will correct
where it can, but usually it can't -- the Hayes couldn't either.  Noisy lines
send garbage on occasion, the modem isn't going to solve that.
