I have gotten so far 3 replies on the topic of High speed modems.  Thank you!

I shall be posting complete messages which I received to the NET next 
Wednesday.

All of the replies were very good, however no one mentioned how FAST the
high-speed modems transfer data over
a computer.  

All one must do is supply me with the following data:  How long does it take
a 24oo baud modem to transfer a whole
Atari ST seven-hundred and twenty-K diskette over the modem?  Then, I can
convert this data for the other modems and determine which speed is for me.

I want to insure that I get a modem which is neither too slow, nor too much
for my needs.  I have seen BBSes in
my area [San Jose, CA] supporting baud rates close to 2OK!  [Ninteen.2K to
be exact].

THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH!
