Perhaps this is a hasty conclusion.  Another newsgroup has had numerous
postings saying US Robotics Courier (2400/1200/300) modems (this posting
will come through one, although at only 1200 baud, by the way) are
	(a) great|far better than average|noise-free|etc. or
	(b) terrible|unreliable|pure junk|noise-prone|etc.
The units that reach the field seem to fall at the extremes of usefulness.

I have had experince with 3 Avatex 1200's, one of which I own.  Two
were fine.  The third did not work, but it also did not pass its built-
in self-diagnostics.  It was returned, and the replacement is fine.

Perhaps yours came from a bad lot.  If so, then USR is not the only
company that can often (but not consistently) make a good modem.
