I bought a non-Epson-compatible printer many years ago, just before Epson(tm)
became the standard.

Guess what?  I plan to wait for a standard to emerge before I even CONSIDER
buying a faster than 2400baud modem!

But, then I dont run megabytes of info per day.  Not even kbytes of info per day.
And rarely, if ever, long distance.  So I can afford to wait.

And, on another (slightly-related) subject:  Aren't you glad, those of you in the
USA, that the government does not own the communication network?  And that, so
far, you can use whatever modem speed you want?  (But watch out, this surcharge
they plan to add (Have added?) for modem communications is a step in a BAD direction!)
