Can someone please tell me how the Intel 9600 EX stacks up to the USR HST 9600. I know that the EX supports v.32 and v.42, but will the two be compatable talking to each other. The HST seems to be widely used in the BBS world. I want to set up a BBS and wonder if the two will properly 'talk' to each other at 14.4k.

The only USR modems that will talk to the 9600EX at speeds above 2400 bps are: Courier V.32 Courier V.32bis Courier Dual Standard Courier Dual Standard V.32bis (i.e. only the USR modems that have V.32 modulation).

I really don't know how to get this accross en masse: the (non-dual) HST isn't compatible with anything except itself. That is, if it doesn't say "USRobotics Courier HST" it won't speak to an HST. Period. If you want to speak to an HST at 14,400 bps, you're going to have to buy an HST (or an HST Dual Standard). There is no other way. -- UUCP: watmath!xenitec!zswamp!root | 602-66 Mooregate Crescent Internet: root@zswamp.fidonet.org | Kitchener, Ontario FidoNet: SYSOP, 1:221/171 | N2M 5E6 CANADA Data: (519) 742-8939 | (519) 741-9553 MC Hammer, n.

No rom upgrade will be available for the current USR modems since the new modems is a new hardware design. -- Robert J.

Being a Canadian (and somewhat short of cash), I declined the invitation to COMDEX and hit the Canadian Computer Show (same week!) in stead. USR had a rep there, a woman with a downright unfriendly demeanour and *no* info whatsoever. She seemed more like a cheerleader to pep up the VARs than anything else. -- UUCP: watmath!xenitec!zswamp!root | 602-66 Mooregate Crescent Internet: root@zswamp.fidonet.org | Kitchener, Ontario FidoNet: SYSOP, 1:221/171 | N2M 5E6 CANADA Data: (519) 742-8939 | (519) 741-9553 MC Hammer, n.
