I am looking for information about 9600 baud modems.  In particular:

	Who makes them
	How much do they cost?
	How well do they work?
	What parameters should I make my selection on?

Initially I will be using the modem for remote terminal access and some
file transfer.  Later, I may want to run TCP/IP over the link.  Some
particular questions I have are:

	Can I get by with a fast switching half duplex modem?

	Would one of the 9600/300 asymetrical full duplex modems
	work OK for TCP when most of the traffic was in one direction?

	What kind of driver support would I need to make the TCP stuff
	work?

Thank you.
