The modem will support V.32, V.42bis, and MNP level 5 error correction protocols. Street price is estimated to fall around $489. Pretty attractive price point! .-----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | UUCP: {crash tcnet}!orbit!pnet51!pj | Working with idiots keeps | | INET: pj@pnet51.orb.mn.org | my life interesting... | `-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'

The new Intel 9600ex supports V.32 (plus the usual slower stuff), V.42 and V.42bis, MNP, and all the tricks. What's more, at high compression/speed it actually goes faster than anything else I have ever tested (which is a lot). Price to public site operators is $399. -- ..!{uunet,qiclab,intelhf}!m2xenix!news
