[comp.dcom.modems] what capability, practical peripherals?

kjh@pollux.usc.edu (Kenneth J. Hendrickson) (11/28/90)

Does the Practical Peripherals 9600 V.32 external modem support:

MNP5?
V.42?
V.42bis?
V.32bis?

Will there be an upgrade to V.32bis?  How much $?

I don't trust the [lying|ignorant] salescritters.  :-)

	What do you want, everything? They have barely shipped the V.32
modems yet!

In answer to your "How much $?":

Egghead: $599 and usually available
Mail-order: $499 and down (to as low as $447), but the only one I found
with any 9600SAs in stock were at the high-end ($499).  I bought it.
Using it now.  It's fine.
