Ven-tel 212 with autodialer
As a part of our evaluation of 212 compatible modems, I recently received
for evaluation a Ven-tel 212 with integral auto-dialer. I am currently
running with it on our Develcon Dataswitch as an outgoing service, and it
is absolutely amazing. Among the more interesting features are:
> Auto Speed detection as to whether terminal is 300 or 1200 baud.
> Storage of up to 5 phone numbers of up to 30 digits (or control
characters)
> "linking" to another of the stored phone numbers if first number
tried is busy.
> "blind dialing" for entry of touch-tone info to computers (without
dial tone.)
> redial and "redial forever" commands.
> on-line help.
List price that I was quoted (institutional price?) was $846. 212 equivalent
without dialer was $718. Don't know what a competatively bid contract price
might be.
Anyone know of a similar (or better) product at a competative price?
