If you use digital to analog converters on your phone system for the 
modem lines the Multitech modems work fine. Have been doing that for 3 
years or so with no problems using a couple of old MT 1432BA's that were 
lying around surplus here. We have T-1 and DID. Using also an old 
Windows 98 box for faxing that was lying around surplus. I am just 
saying that T-1 and DID are not at all difficult to manage and if you 
use d-a converters it removes the software drivers from the loop.
