If you are doing demo's etc. at trade shows, I would follow
NCD's recommendation, use X-Remote and a pair of V.32bis modems.
Even with X-Remote there is added advantage to using V.42bis
compression......you should be able to run at 38.4 Kb on MOST
ordinary phone lines.  Performance at 19.2 isn't that bad if
your hardware can't handle 38.4.

I would highly recommend a V.32bis modem that uses a proprietary
DataPump (i.e. not the Rockwell).  Performance on the Codex,
and DSI is roughly identical.....anecdotally the Hayes series
are also good performers (no direct testing of them).  All of
them are more suited to THIS SPECIFIC application than PEP type
modems.  

You can actually use a V.22bis modem with V.42bis set just as
fast as it will run....performance with applications that use
backing store isn't that shabby...NCD themselves does this...I
would recommend the V.32bis for best thruput though.  Highly
recommend the Hayes V.22bis if you go that route.
