Our research group recently bought 4 Datec Pal 1200 baud modems (we got a good
deal on a state contract). One is for my use at the office and at home. At
my office the thing works fine with a Televideo 920c. At home I have an IBM
PC and the PAL fails *even the loopback test*. What is the deal here? Datec says that the problem is either with the
cable or IBM. Has anyone else had this problem? What is the proper Datec to ibm
interface? I am using a very old PC and an AST megaplus  II card. I need help
if the DATEC PAL is to be more that a very expensive boat anchor. By the way,
the more expensive Datec 212 also worked in the office and failed at home.
