It's simple. If you want Unix, or run UUCP, get a Telebit. Otherwise, get
a USR. 

 Telebits are great at UUCP... USRs are better at Zmodem. It has to do with
the protocol they use to communicate. Whatever modem you buy, make sure it
does V.32 as well so you'll be compatible with the rest of the planet. :-)
