Two additional thoughts may help you buy your modem:

	1. PC Magazine, December 11, 1990, has a good article comparing all high
	   speed modems.  They chose Multi-Tech's modem as the 'Editor's 
	   Choice.' 
	   
	2. If you want to use your high speed modem for UUCP, wouldn't the 
	   TELEBIT be a better choice because it has PEP protocal support?
	   But be aware of the fact that PC Magazine said it failed in their
	   impaired line tests.
