I would look at modems that have the ability to change baud rates automatically
as the line quality changes. I am assuming that India's phone system is compat-
ible with ours. Error correction is a must.  For cost effectivness I would look
at v.32 modems with either mnp or lap-m for a start. You also could go with
telebit trailblazers (the 2500 does both telebit and v.32) or hst modems. The
three modems listed above seem to be the most popular but I have no idea what
would be practical in India.  I have heard that the phone system in parts of 
India are quite old. Some of it is Satellite. I think your results would vary
from place to place. If I had to take a guess I would look at the telebit trail-blazer 2500 which would do both telebit pep and v32. Price is between 800 and
1200 dollars depending on vendor and your buying power. In a less expensive
solution for just v-32 with mnp I have had good luck with Multitech v-32 mt932eawhich cost between 600 and 900 dollars. Disclaimer!! Modems and phone lines are
not a exact science conditions can vary. Extreme long distances can vary in per-formance from day to day and from phone carrier to carrier. On any given day on
dial-up phone lines you could be getting to your destination in many different
methods (sa
