I recently got my '030 cube and am in the process of upgrading it.  I 
currently have 8 1mb simms installed and I am debating the pros and
cons of getting an additional 8 1mb simms for a total of 16mb or 4 4mb
simms for a total of 24mb.  The extra cash saved on 8 1mb (4*~190=750 - 
8*~40=320 == $430) would go towards a 9600 baud modem to greatly enhance
uucp connectivity, currently 2400 baud.  The 9600 baud modem would also
be great for SLIP or PPP.

Is there a significant improvement from 16mb to 24mb?  

Any recommendations of vendors?  

(By the way, there is a pretty good intro article on SLIP and PPP on page 33
in the 7 January Unix Today.)  

Thanks in advance.

tjb
