I am using an Avatek modem on my DEC 2020 for the KLINIK line (the remote
dial-in to the console; with the KLINIK password you can do everything
remotely that you can do at the console).  It seems to work, although it
sends some burst of characters when initially connected.

I have no idea how it works for dial-out.  My other modems are DEC DF112's
and my dial-out software talks that protocol, not Hayes.  The Avatek is
a subset of Hayes protocol that reputedly works on all the Atari software.

It has been reputed that these modems should be considered disposable;
that is, if it works beyond the warranty period be grateful, and when it
gives up the ghost you'd buy a new modem instead of repairing it.
