It's is indeed convenient to be capable of rapid xfers w/BBSi in HST in addition to 9600 baud connections to the v.32 oriented UNIX ports. Be forewarned: USR's customer service is THE PITS!!!! I've had many long waits for upgrade chips in the past and now they're telling me that only SYSOPS can upgrade a Dual Standard to v.32bis (14.4k full duplex as opposed to v.32 -> 9600 full duplex) (Anyone see the logic error here :-{ Who's going to use a new sysop's v.32bis mode if he's the only one that's got it! Boy am I steamed!!! Sure would be nice to use a _FAST_ full duplex connection with a UNIX box running DNET. Done whining... USR's are nice as long as you get the latest ROMS and don't want anything else from them once you've bought it. -Beej -- I must remember to be cheerful and obedient.
