I came across this website a way back and the sysop discount thread
made me go back through my memories to retrieve it.  It's really well
done and goes really deep into the handshaking that occurs during the
modem setup sequence and where the differences were with different
hardware.  5 for 5 in quality and detail of knowledge!

This was a good read. I go down the rabbit hole every few years trying
to use a modem over VoIP.

Wow, now we know why Lucent Winmodems, and Rockwell "hardware DSP"
modems worked the best, and Motorola SM56 and ESS softmodems were hot
garbage!

Ah, my old Hayes 14,400 modem was a thing of beauty.

WinModems are pure evil. Best modems that have a hardware processor on
board.
