I got what is probably a similar modem from my usual supplier here in
Reading for #94 inc. VAT. It has Microcomputer Research, Inc. on the
box, but there is no address or anything like that. It is BABT approved.
Win95 shows the type as UNIMODEM959C40CA. I'm delighted with it! It is
*far* more reliable than my old 14.4 unit; I get a connection at 33.6 to
the beta COLT line about 90% of the time, it always connects first time,
and never drops out. I use it with the string AT&F&C1&D2W2 which is the
same as for my old modem. I don't know if this is optimimum, but it
seems to work. AT&F&C1&D2W1&K3%C1&Q5 works just the same, and looks
better.
