What is a good price for a Hayes V-Series 9600 baud modem?  How about the
Hayes v.32 full duplex modem?  Where did you get yours and at what price?
I have a v-series 9600 on loan and it is a very nice modem. I have logged
onto Compuserve on both 2400 and 1200 baud lines.  Unfortunately for
me the 2400 baud number is a zone 2 call so what I save in speed from
compuserve I pay out to Pacific Bell.  I haven't seen any speeds above 
2400 adveritised by compuserve.  One other note: using 2400 baud vs.
1200 baud definitely does not reduce your time by a factor of two with
compuserve, even during file transfer.  I have tried this at several
different times of the day and the servers seem to be almost as much
a bottleneck as the modems.
