(I think?) >The Dual Standard will get me max speed with my uucp connect (Boston >University) as well as max speed outside with BBS's. I'll argue one point (only!). One thing the PEP in a TBit modems does is connect where others wont, or when they do connect won't stay connected. I have a site that was using V.32 (not HSTs) on a leased line that would typically drop 4 to 6 times per day. Nothing the two phone companies involved could do would improve it for more than a few days at a time. We went to T2500's on dial-up lines. Last week I was at that site again and he thinks they have only disconnected about 6 to 10 times total. And that's for FIVE MONTHS. Don't just think speed with a TB, think connectivity and reliability. -- Bill Vermillion - UUCP: uunet!tarpit!bilver!bill : bill@bilver.UUCP
