And in Unix land, about 95% are Trailblazers. So I guess you've really
got to make up your mind whether your long term interest is in e.g.
UUCP transfers or in bulletin boards.

This is really a shame; too bad that one of the two didn't become
the de facto standard in *both* worlds. Although I suppose that, if
this goes on, somebody'll come out with a clone that supports both
types.

I know nothing about the U.S. Robotics, but the Trailblazer 9600 baud (and the
19.2 model as well) is a very fine modem with great operating characteristics.
(Based on multiple second hand observations; i.e. many of my friends are
very happy with them.)
