Summary: well, 9600 is slower than 19200 :-)

Well, that one didn't some out quite the way I said it (the rest
of the article was surprisingly accurate).  First of all, I'd used
1200 up until a few months ago.  Secondly, 9600 bps at home isn't
like 9600 direct-connect.  See <1840@lsuc.UUCP> in comp.dcom.modems
for some of the problems.

(Incidentally, in case anyone still cares to find it, the cover
of Toronto Computes! announces that it's available at all Metro
24-hour Becker's stores.)
