	I'm confused. About 9600 bps modems. Here's the deal:

	1) I'm not filthy-rich --just a little-bit-rich.
	2) I see all these *funny things* like HST, v.32, v.42, v.42bis,
		MNP, PEP -- which I assume are standards defining
		the modulation scheme and/or protocols used to get the
		data across the line -- associated with 9600 bps modems.
	3) I want to buy a 9600 bps modem that will, with a respectable
		chance, be suitable to talk to someone else's 9600 bps
		modem.

QUESTION: GIVEN THESE THINGS, WHICH OF THE *FUNNY THINGS* IS (ARE?) OF
          PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE?

Peace.
