You can't use the HST protocol for anything on USENet, due to the packet size of the UUCP protocol. Thus, UseNet had to use Telebits. Now that Telebit turns out V.32 modems as does USRobotics, good times are ahead. The Telebit you'll need is T2500, the USR is the Dual Standard. You can run UUCP on Dual Standard using V.32, but Telebits will give you better transfer rates. On the other hand, USR's are much cheaper. If you wish to use your modem for both BBS's and UUCP, I'd recommend a HST Dual Standard. >Thanks. Please post.
