I'm considering upping my telecommunications speed and wanted to get
some recommendations from informed people who aren't looking to get
paid for it (ie sales reps, sales people, etc.)  :-)

My current configuration is a Macintosh Plus (4 meg) a Practical
Peripherals 2400 modem, and White Knight (whatever the current version
is this week.)

I believe a 9600 Baud v.32 modem would speed up my dial-in access to
my UNIX host.  In particular, I want to speed up paging through news.

The questions:  What are my bottlenecks (Mac Plus, Software, Modem) and
how do I break them.

Will I really see a difference in paging speed?

What 9600 baud modems do _you_ recommend?

Will White Knight cut it?

Is v.42 necessary/helpful/worth it to cover future needs?

What else haven't I covered?

As always I will be a greatful and indebted spud, and will toss electronic
garlands in your general direction.
