Att Dataport 144 Modem

Date: Sat, 13 Mar 93 22:31:40 CST From: ehfm@midway.uchicago.edu (Eric Hoffmann) Subject: AT&T DataPort 14.4K Report The AT&T DataPort 14.4K modem has generated a lot of interest on the newsgroup comp.dcom.modems. An external model of this modem with Class 1 fax capability (including cable and QuickLink II fax software, yech!) is being advertised in MacWeek (3-08-93) for $299. The offer is only good through April 30, 1993. If you qualify under the Sysop program, your price drops to $222. In response to the question recently posted to info-mac, I sent one reply but thought that it would make more sense to summarize the postings on comp.dcom.modems and prepare a report on this modem. I have clipped responses from the following people on comp.dcom.modems karl@genesis.MCS.COM dawson@willard.atl.ga.us Adam.Frix@p18.f20.n226.z1.FIDONET.ORG jmcging@access.digex.com s.frazee@pdnis.paradyne.com (in charge of the Sysop program) pato@pdn.paradyne.com (senior engineer at AT&T Paradyne) If I missed your posting or if you have testimonials, bug-reports, and further questions, please send mail to me at ehfm@midway.uchicago.edu Also included in this report is the Sysop order form. For a more formal review, check out the March 1993 issue of BoardWatch. The review begins on page 14, "AT&T intros sysop deal on 14.4kbps modems." I will include this review if I can obtain permission from Jack Richard, the editor of BoardWatch. 14,400 Fax external $299 14,400 Fax internal $289 Call 1-800-554-4996 and charge it!
