As I discussed in more detail on another list, there have been some reports of compatibility problems with the US Robotics (and other 2400 bps modems as well). A top level modem expert I know told me that he personally would NOT buy into 2400's at this time unless: 1) They were REALLY cheap (like $100 he said!) 2) You were going to only be talking to the same brand of modem at the other end. He said that this situation is changing but that in his opinion he's gotten too many bad reports and knows of too many manufacturing changes under way to want to dive in at this juncture. Just passing this along. --Lauren--
