Message-ID: <2586@igloo.scum.com> Date: 1 Jul 90 07:35:08 GMT Reply-To: gwang@igloo.UUCP (George Wang) Distribution: usa Organization: Igloo public access unix, Northbrook IL Lines: 27 the new V.42/bis upgrade for both the HST and the Dual... If you purchased your modem after approximately 10/15/89 (the latest revision date) the upgrade is FREE!!! Otherwise, it's $50... The new compression (LAMP) with v.42 now gives transfer rates of OVER 2000 CPS on COMPRESSED ZIP FILES!! And even better on text!! THIS IS AMAZING!!!! If I'm not correct these rates are even better than TELEBITS!! I of course own a HST... However, as I stated a while back, USR's dealer sales manager, Jim Summers, TOTALLY ruins USR's reputation as a good support company... I've had a TERRIBLE experience Jim Summers concerning the dealer program... It's highly unfortunate that such a fine product is undermined by a person who has no regards to your typical college student...
