At the CeBIT computer fair in Hannover I saw a connection from Germany to
Canada with Trailblazers. They achieved more than 17,000 bits/sec.

In Germany this is illegal. The maximum legal speed is 2,400 bits/sec, but only
with ZZF-approved modems ( the ZZF is our "FCC" ; a ZZF 2.4Kbd modem costs
about 2000 DM ). Most people here use unapproved(=illegal) modems. I think in
France its similiar.
