US Robotics HST, Hayes, Dual Standard) - but I am still looking for a TRUE 9600 baud modem that can connect with any/all of the more expensive 9600 baud modems (preferably the US Robo series). I'm looking to spend around $200 for it - this is what I've seen already: CompuCom 9600 Modem - Read about this in a text file floting around the local BBSs. Does anyone own this thing? How good as it - what will it connect with at 9600? Does to go faster then 9600? Seems like a pretty reasonable price, but the text file is slightly ambiguous to its capabilities. (or atleast to me) SupraModem Plus - Just saw this in AmigaWorld and have basicy the same questions as the above. I own the SupraModem 2400 - is there a trade in policy? I am confedent in the reliability of the Supra Corp - I own a Supra memory board and Supar HardCard - with no problems ZOOM Modem V.42bis - Just found this one in the Computer Shopper - it clams to be able to go upto 9600 with the V.42 compression/error correction for not too bad of a price ($189). Will this only be effective on compressible files (text files) and not give much of an advantage with archives? This is all I can find for now, but my basic question is: Can true 9600 baud be achieved without having to spend some serious cash? -=*> Steve Krulewitz -------------------- UUNET!tronsbox!amiglynx!stevek <*=-
