It's funny, but in the midst of all these people who love Trailblazers
I have to say I think the TB is not perfect for applications like
reading news. I find the delay from my keystrokes objectionable.  (I
was using a brand new TB+ with the "quick turnaround hack".) The USR
method sounded very attractive to me. 300 baud is perfect for my
keystrokes. I don't know about noise immunity, that may be a problem
with USR's protocol, but we have had V.29 modems between California
and Texas and that seemed to work out ok so I think V.29 will probably
work on most phone lines.
