    I have one of the Elite 2864's hooked up to an HP 712 running HP-UX
  and have had no problems.  I use the data features daily, the fax
  features about twice a month, and do not use the voice.

    I pulled it out of the box, plugged it in and haven't had to worry
  about it one bit.  A simple replacement for the 1496.

    My regular data calls are only at 14.4K, but I have successfully
  connected at 28.8K to Compuserve using a long distance call and
  via the 800 number.  I consistently got 28.8 in one direction and
  24K or 21.6K the other.
