Subject: Re: DAK, etc.

I have never bought anything from DAK, but I have gotten their catalogs,
and a lot of their stuff looks great.  As far as the Duck, from the technical
description posted here, it sounds almost identical to the Prometheus
ProModem which I paid over $300 for a couple of years ago. Same extended
commands (except @ instead of *), same clock, switches on the bottom, internal
power supply, etc.  The manual seems much better than the Duck manual.
I suppose if I needed another 1200 baud modem I would probably give the
Duck a try since it is better and cheaper than a Hayes (so is the
Promodem, but not as cheap).
