I'm a happy 2400 bauder.  

I'm fasinated about 9600 baud modems.  Reasons are, more and more BBS are moving to this speed.  But, looking thru the local BBS list, there are many different
9600 baud standards.  My worries are:  If I'm to get an 9600 baud modem, which 
one would be best for me.

Of course, prices are also a big consideration.  For example, I myself wouldn't
buy a modem that's more costly then a HardDrive or DeskJet.

I read in magazines about the US Robotic HST 9600 modems.  Just the name, so I 
have no idea what this HST does.  

I also heard about a much cheaper 9600 baud modem with a different standard then
US Robotic's HST.  Again, could you help me understand this one.

Finally, I would like your personal biased opinion.  

A thousand Thanks!
