Glen,
I got the modem through a special group purchase for about 30% off.  Apparently
the Hayes modem is not completely compatible with some of the emerging 9600
standards yet, but Hayes is offering a chip upgrade for $50 that will probably
fix that problem.

I like the modem, but I'm waiting on technology to catch up with it so I can
use CompuServe, AppleLink, GEnie etc. at 9600 instead of 2400.  Does anyone
know of any dial-up services that can use 9600?

On a related note, I have tested (since it's marketed now, it's OK to say this)
Timbuktu Remote, which allows you to _control_ and transfer files from someone
else's Mac.  What a neat idea!  I like it, and 9600 baud is the absolute
_slowest_ this can be used at, since the other Mac's screen is drawn on your
screen, as well as all of the screen updates.
