I see. The ZOOM and USR I'm dealing with are both external modems.
What's noticeable about the ZOOM (to me, anyway), is that "V.42bis"
is embossed with a little silver label on the front left of the
modem, as though that were a new selling point to show off. I wonder
when that protocol came out?

You've convinced me to at least hold on to this Courier HST until I
find out more about it -- and perhaps more clues on getting it to
work with this XT. Both of these modems work -- it's just that the
Courier doesn't work with the XT (yet). So far, the ZOOM works fine
with the XT, but the equally "authentic" Courier would be even better...
Perhaps I should write to uncle Dave...
