I am considering to buy a modem with V.42bis and MNP5 and use it to
connect my PC(486/25) to main computers in my school with phone line. Is 
it useful to buy a modem with 9600 baud in this case? Someone told me
it is not, because the phone line can only transfer information with
2400 baud. Is this true? 
I know almost nothing about modem. So any advices, suggestions and
informations about models, price, and manufacturers are appreciated very
much.

Please send email or post here if you have to.

Thanks in advance.
