According to my dim recollections, a NC6400 was close to a T100.  PEP at
1400+cps, and 2400 baud & down in v. recommendations.

It's nearly inoperable without a manual - the command set is _huge_.

There is a PEP echo - there may still be a few active participants.  The US
forest service standardized on 'em at one stage, and the Australian
backbone ran on little else.

It's "mid older".  Later than a T100, not late enough to have v32.
A nice modem, well built.  Still superb on reasonably wide band lines, even
in the presence of horror level noise.  Doesn't like restricted bandwidth
lines, aka ISD, or the latest Telstra scam efforts - can and does narrow
down to 500 cps or less.

I stopped running an original Trailblazer only a few months back.

Regards,
Dave Hatch.
