That's wierd since I bought this modem new a few months ago.

OK  It's a MT2834ZDXb, not a plain ZDX.

It's been years since I looked seriously at modems.  I don't do USR given
that I've had absolutely horrible support from them, even when I had a
couple of rather expensive USRs on loan for evaluation for a large sale
(HSTs if I remember correctly).

My conclusions after testing modems extensively from a wide variety of
vendors was that most of them were junk, particularly if one wanted to use
them in unattended operations.  The only modems that I found consistently
reliable were MultiTech and Telebit.

Any suggestions for reliable external modems available today that work well
with hylafax and dialup uucp (yes we still support it)?
