Gordon,
	You should have no trouble using virtually any fairly modern 
modem on either kind of phone service.  I have pulse service and have
been using a number of different modems, both old and new, and they all
work fine.  Once the connection is made phone lines work the same.  I'm
guessing that you may be having trouble dialing and making the connect.
If that is the case your dialing string should be ATDP555-1232 instead
of ATDT555-1232.  (substitute your desired number.)  Note the last letter
the P and T determine how your modem will dial.  Once the modem dials
it should be clear sailing from there.  
	If you have any more questions, well, repost or mail me.

                           Tony

      I guess I'm not much for tag lines.  I may have to change that.
