I was planning to buy a 9600 bps modem (and a fax machine) here in US
and bring it back in Italy, when I remembered that I once read that for
high speed modems ( >2400 bps ) the european standards differ from
those in US. The problem doesn't seem to lie within the telephone lines,
but just the adopted standards.

Can anyone enlight me on this? You can either post on the net or e-mail me.

Thanks a lot,

Francesco Caserta
