[comp.dcom.modems] High-speed modems

kroe@sbcs.sunysb.edu (KiYun Roe) (11/01/90)

I'm interested in information about high-speed modems (>= 9600 bps)
particularly those that support MNP Class 5 or V.42bis.  If you have
had experience with a modem that you really liked or really hated,
please let me know.  I'm looking for good price / performance.  Has
anyone had any experience with the new Intel 9600EX or the Practical
Peripherals PM9600SA V.32/V.42bis?

Thanks.

I've heard good things about the Intel modem - and nothing about
the PP.  Tech Data has the Intel modems for around $470 - while the
PP is now priced at $454.  The PP is still on back order.

	Have you tried TELEBIT modems?  The T2500 PEP/V.32/V.42/V.42bis
	and the T1500 V.32/V.42/V.42bis work quite well for me.  there
	is an added incentive for UNIX UUCP use in PEP and V.32 in both
	these modems due to TELEBITs protocol support of UUCP, Kermit,
	X-modem, and Y-modem.  If you would like TELEBIT literature,
	please e-mail with your statistics.  Good Luck!
