Craig Peterson (n8ino)) Organization: Mainstream, Schaumburg, IL Lines: 14 Barring any interface problems I'm very sure I'd use a Telebit. Its amazingly adaptive circuitry allows it to be used over incredibly lossy & lousy phone lines. It gets through all over the world at speeds greater than 8kbps where other modems can't connect, or lose their connections. There was even one site in New Jersey that I couldn't maintain a clean link to at 1200 bps. MNP didn't help much, in fact sometimes it was impossible to get any meaningful data through. The trailblazer just runs along at or near top data rates (>12kbps) without any problems. The purchase of the modems was certainly worth it! -- R.
