I am looking at getting a US Robotics HST modem and I had heard that
the bandwiths that sprint allows for its calls sometimes block out
9600 baud calls so that it falls back to a lower baud.  Is this true,
or just rumor?

Thanks,

Mark

[Moderator's Note: When we were on this thread some time ago, there
were numerous comments and questions about Sprint's ability to handle
data at very high speeds. John Higdon was one of the main contributors
to that thread. Perhaps on seeing this he will write you and briefly
share his experiences.   PAT]
