Hello all,

	Im looking to replace my dead 2400 modem with something faster.
I have a couple of picks but no clear winner.

1) 2400 with MNP/5
2) v.32 modem
3) HST 1400 

My questions are which of the modems are the most cost-effective..
I maining do BBS'ing of reading messages and downloading files in either
the ZIP or ARC format..
What down MNP/5 really buy you in the real world?
Is buying the HST modem (no v.32) a really stupid thing to do.. ?? 
If I buy a v.32 should it also have MNP/5 ??

I really only want to spend no more than 400-500 dollars, so what is the
best choice..



					thanks
