Hello,

	I will be purchasing a NeXTstation in the next few weeks and am
looking for advice regarding hard drives and modems.  I am specifically
interested in a 200-300 hard drive that is compatible with the NeXT.  
NeXT says the Quantam drives are what they recommend, does anyone concur?
Are there now or going to be soon SCSI 2 drives?

	I will be using the station from home and would like a decent modem.
Originally, I was willing to settle for 2400 baud.  Is this enough?  I
can trade MB on the hard drive for baud on the modem in terms of money.  
(We have a definite budget crunch. :-(  )   Is 9600 baud a 'requirement'?

	Questions like these have been asked before but I have seen no 
replies posted.  It would be a very big service to those of us who are
rookies at this.  

	Thanks in advance.
