We've been usingg Liaison and Microcom V.32 9600 bps MNP Class 9 modems for
about a year now.  Just about anything that works on an Appletalk network
at our office works over the dialup with Liaison.  We even use Timbuktu
(regular not remote) to support people and troubleshoot with people
in remote cities.  TOPS works great too....taking into account that the
speed is reduced to 9600 bps.

By the way we have noticed that several long distance dialups using
MCI don't work at 9600 bps.  AT&T seems to always work....

Anybody have any comments?
