We have a bank of Courier 2400 baud modems (rack-mounted) and
30 university owned modems in people's homes...
When we installed them (and gave out the modems to the users),
most said that at 2400 baud there was LESS noise...

Personally, I find much less noise, but the signal around here, I assume,
is pretty strong.  (How do you know if the signal is strong?)

The biggest problem is that many of our modems are DOA.
Of the 30 home modems, we had 4 bad power supplies and 2 bad modems.
Also, one pair of the rack-mounted modems was bad.
