Rick By and large, I've found that, when you're dealing with IBM modems, you'd better have two of the same type - or family - talking to one another - or n of the same type or family if you're running a multipoint line which IBM used to support so extensively. <g>
Thus I hope you have *2* 7861s and then maybe the museum can demonstrate that wonderful LPDA[1] function which was the "party trick" of IBM modems of the 386X, 586X and 786X families.
