[mod.telecom] 9600 baud modems

cosell@BBN-PROPHET.ARPA (Bernie Cosell) (11/04/85)

Our project has just decided to go and replace our 1200 baud modems
with 2400 baud ones.  My question is: is that the wrong speed?  It seems
like 9600 baud modems are really rushing to market in a hurry (certainly
by comparison with how 2400 followed 1200), but aside from seeing the
price settle in at just under $1K, I know essentially nothing about them.

Do they work?  Are they a good bet?  Any info any of you might be able
to supply would be appreciated.

Much thanks
