Yes.  I have the 1414 and use it to get news and mail from UUNET.  About  
one out of every 5 calls fail to connect to the UUNET trailblazers, and it  
seems that about half the time uunet can't connect to my Neuron, but it's  
good enough to keep the data flowing.

The problem with the Neuron connecting to the Trailblazer seems to be  
caused by the Neuron thinking it's hearing a busy signal when the  
Trailblazer starts making it's initial tones.  The first tones that the  
Trailblazer puts out is for the PEP protocol.  It takes a few seconds  
before it gives up and trys the V.32 tones.  It's the PEP tones that the  
1414 mistakes for a busy signal.  The 1414 outputs "BUSY", and then hangs  
up. (Actually, I don't know if it's the 1414 that decides to hang up or  
something the Neuron monitor does.)
