We have a Telebit T2500 at work, I would like to get a V.32 modem such that
I can dial up our machine at work at 9600 baud. After searching a bit, I
found that the cheapest V.32 modem available in Toronto is the GVC V.32
modem (CAN$499 in a computer fair). However, I read something about the
incompability of different brands of V.32 modems. I tried to get the
vendors to let me try to dial up our machine but none of them willing to
do so. A "technical person" in the fair told me that Telebit modems 
usually have difficulties communicating with modems of other brands at
9600 baud (any comments?). Since I am not going to spend $500+tax on
something that may not be compatible with what we have at work, 
I would like to know if anyone has experience with the GVC V.32 modem?
How compatible is it with Telebit T2500 and other brands like USRobotics
and Hayes V.32 modems? Thanks in advance!
