Peter:

I've used three different 2400bps modems on my Apple //e.  They are the
US Robotics Courier, MultiTech 224, and Datagram DCE-224.  All of them work
beautifully with ASCII Express "Pro", ASCII Express MouseTalk, and ModemWorks
(a modem utility package that I have written).

Since I am beta-testing one of the above mentioned modems, I don't want to
make any public statements as to which one I think is best.  All three of them
are very good, and all work admirably.  The deciding factor for me would
probably be price at this stage of the game, however.  But to answer your
question:  yes, the ASCII Express series software will work with them, as well
as many other terminal programs.  The advantages of the extra speed are
obvious, and the only real disadvantage is the potential for increased
line-noise.  My telephone exchange is pretty clean (Pac-Bell, San Diego),
so 2400bps is not a problem at all.

One other disadvantage (though this is rapidly changing) is the lack of
2400bps support for some information systems, as well as the low support from
many of the public-access BBS systems.
