Let me echo Henry's comments.  My time is expensive (so, don't ask
why I waste it on Usenet), and I spend a lot of time on email and
netnews.  I also work at home 2 days a week.  For over a year I've
been using a pair of Racal-Vadic 9600VP's, which made a *big* difference
to my productivity over 1200 baud.  But we've had the Trailblazers
for five days, and they put the 9600VP to shame.  Aside from
the almost-doubling of output speed, the character echo turnaround
is vastly better (the delay is just noticeable rather than really
annoying), and the delay before a screenful starts arriving has
vanished, though it starts a bit slow and builds up.  It's almost as
good as being downtown.

[Anyone want a couple of 9600VP's that cost us (cough) almost C$4K?]
