I need to be able to connect my Mac (SE/30) over the phone to another mac,
and remotely access that Mac (menus etc).  Apparently Timbuktu remote or
Carbon Copy Mac will do that, but need 9600 modems (v expensive).
I would rather buy 2400 modems with MNP5 compression - how would that compare ?
Would it work ?

Any suggestions on which package would be best ?

BTW - how would I see the remote screen ? - does it redirect the QD to the
top window to me as well ?  If so, wouldn't this be VERY slow ?

One last thing - If I bought a modem in the states, apart from the power supply
being different - would it work on UK phone lines ? (Yes, I know the diff.
between pulse and tone, but I want to know if there are electrical level
differences).
