I recently heard about a new modem being assembled and sold by U.S. Robotics called the HST/D. Supposedly, this modem will have the ability to connect with other HST's, Telebit V.32's, and Hayes V.32's. I don't keep up with this newsgroup, and this message might be late, but would someone mind forwarding some information about this modem to me (ie: price, availibility, technical capabilities, etc.) ? Thanks for any help, Sean -------- seanp%undrground@amix.commodore.com

My USR Dual Standard connects with those, as well as any other V.32 modem and/or another USR HST. -- Larry Snyder, Northern Star Communications, Notre Dame, IN USA {larry@nstar.rn.com, uunet!nstar!larry, larry%nstar@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu} backbone usenet newsfeeds available Public Access Unix Site (219) 289-0282 (5 high speed lines)

What he's refering to is the ability to be a "triple" standard modem, thus covering the Telebit, V.32, and HST types. Given USR can get rights to the telebit protocol, this could be a good deal - hence you wouldn't ever have a problem connecting to any modem (of course this will take time before all the bugs are worked out). If USR could price this modem at around $1000, it would be a very HOT seller. The dual standards are good now, given they improvethat..wow.
