It doesn't work very well. It works fine at >1200 baud, but who buys a 2400 baud modem to run at 1200. There was an analysis last year that showed that even the cheapest, shoddiest 2400 baud modem was more reliable at 1200 baud than any 1200 baud modem, even the most expensive. Thus, if you want a good 1200 baud modem, you're better off buying a cheap 2400 baud modem than a fancy 1200 baud modem which costs more. I am currently considering doing exactly that.
