Perry, you're very very very confused ... Now if what you were trying to say is that BBS owners generally have US Robotics modems and if most of your business is with BBS's, then yes I agree you should get one of those modems. But my understanding with US Robotics modems is that even though they use V.29 there's a couple of funny things they do that makes the modem basically only useful with another USR modem. Of course I'm in nearly the same boat with my trailblazer, but I rest confident in that technically (at least) I made a better choice. Also, I'm a Unix person and Unix sites tend to have trailblazers ... -- <-- David Herron; an MMDF guy <-- ska: David le casse\*' {rutgers,uunet}!ukma!david, david@UKMA.BITNET <-- Now I know how Zonker felt when he graduated ... <-- Stop!
