Given the "no-commercialization" rules on usenet, starting
a newsgroup with a specific commercial purpose in mind (telebit product
support) seems like a notably bad idea.  Best to just sneak
whatever you can into comp.dcom.modems.

On a related subject, I just got some information from Telebit
on their modem.  It looks like a nice unit, especially at the
price, but the info I have does not describe much in detail.
In particular, there is little or no reference to LZ compression,
error correction, uucp-spoofing mode, and all the other good
things I've heard about Telebit on the net.  I'd be happy
to learn more about this unit, if anybody wants to enlighten me.
