I am planning on buying a modem supporting mnp5 and v.42bis, which allow it
to transfer at speeds up to 9600 bps.  My question:

Will this really go at 9600bps?  Will it connect at 9600 with USR HST modems?
With any modem that supports v.42bis?  Help.

I've seen some v.42bis modems that support 9600bps (like the one I want),
others that support 19.2K (v.32), 19.2k (v.32/v.42), 38.4k (v.32/v.42bis)..

HELP!!  How do I know which modem to buy?  Is $232 a good deal for a modem
that supports MNP5 / V.42BIS compression??  (MNP5 at 4800bps, v.42bis at 9600)

I am worried that I won't get fast speed with modems..  I don't know which
modems will connect with it at 9600.. help?  (i am a novice..)
thanks!!
