One thing your friend may want to look into is the USR [US Robotoics]
2400 Courier. It's been out for a while, and I've had mine for over
a year. There have been no problems running any terminal programs
that use the standard commands, and there is even compatability in
the much touted 'S' registers. A friend of mine recently bought
a 2400 HAYES for about $300 [a steal] and it turns out almost
all the commands that have been added were on my USR >first<.
ie: call progress detection is supposedly the same even though
the courier had it first.
