I  am interested in knowing how reliable the 2400 baud modems are
for accessing computer services like DELPHI.  I understand Tymnet
and  Uninet  now  have  2400 baud nodes.  Is it necessary to have
your telephone line conditioned for remote acess (either  dial-up
or  via  a  network  like  tyment)  at 2400 baud?  My line is not
conditioned for 1200 baud access to other computers and it  works
fine.   I  do have a problem in receiving calls from other PCs at
1200 baud in autoanswer mode -- there is a lot of static  on  the
line  and  I  have  been  told  to  get my line conditioned.  Can
someone explain this seeming paradox?

What are the best 2400 baud modems?  How expensive are they?

Thanks for the information.
