	For the record, I got a couple of evaluation modems from
the local Telebit distributor and they came up quite nicely and
very easily reached 18000+ for mailing ~25000 byte files. Only detail
is that Apollo UUCP won't take a speed above 9600 in the L.sys and
L-devices files (but the trailblazer figures out it's talking to
another one and kicks in PEP mode).  I haven't tried compresses news
over a trailblazer but I have no reason to believe that won't be
equally as good.
