Like 98.76% of the other system administrators in the world
today, I am considering 2400 baud modems.  If you have opinions
or comments please post them to this newsgroup or mail them
directly to me.

A couple of specific areas in which I would like information:

1)  When buying 1200 baud modems I have always purchased
    top-of-the-line equipment.  My experience has always been
    that the more expensive modems are more immune to line
    noise.  In particular, I found U. S. Robitics modems to be
    distinctly inferior to Hayes and Racal-Vadic.  Is the same
    true of 2400 baud modems?

2)  If you answer "No" to the last question, what makes you
    believe that this is so?

3)  How does MNP work?  Is a full eight bit, 256 valued data
    path available when using MNP?

4)  If you have purchased 2400 baud modems, how much did you pay
    for them (roughly)?

5)  I have liturature on the following brands: Racal-Vadic,
    Penril, Telenetics, and Team.  Do you have any comments on
    these brands?

Thanks a lot for your time,
