Today I got two betatest Microcom QX/4232hs modems.  They are great!
Over slip, throughput went up from 2.0 Kbyte/sec to 2.5 Kbyte/sec on
ftping /usr/bin/gigiplot.  Overall feel is faster as well.  I highly
recommend trying a couple out if you are in the market for a modem
for SLIP.  Definately an improvement over modems with the 9600 baud
throughput without compression.  ftping a precompressed file went
at 1.3 Kbytes/second vs 1.0 Kbyte/second with the 9600 baud based modem.
