Nope. 1414VQH (V.32bis).

The thing is, the Dynalink worked brilliantly in the beginning, but that did
not last too long. I didn't bother taking it back for repair or swap. At
the moment I am not using it. The M11F works near flawlessly.

I was being semi-sarcastic, but if you're a sado-masochist ... |-)

 SL> Mine is really annoying, I trust the speaker on yours works?

Barely. If your hearing is super-sensitive, you'll here it handshaking.

In that case, we can make arrangements re you borrowing my modem in netmail
or (even better) locally on my BBS.
