I know we're seriously interesting in getting a 2400-baud modem.  The
one we are looking at in particular is the Concord Data one.  The choice
is partly a matter of compatibility -- one of our news feeds, linus,
already has them -- and partly a matter of cost.  The Concord Data
modems are not noticeably more expensive than triple modems (although
they lack 300 baud and R-V 1200 protocol), whereas the R-V quadruple
modems are outlandishly expensive and reportedly hard to get delivery
on.  We need one more good modem to get rid of our last 300-only line,
and the odds are very good that it's going to be from Concord Data.

(For people who want info...  The relevant model is the Concord Data
224 Autodial.  It speaks 2400 and 212.  The autodialer looks fairly
good.  The US price is $1195, rather lower than Mark thought.  Concord
