[comp.dcom.modems] What's the next speed limit?

   I'm interested in upgrading from my 2400 baud modem to whatever I can
get.  I had my eye on the Telebit line because a local board of which I'm
a member supports the Trailblazer.  Is the maximum speed at which they run
19.2kbps?  What's its maximum bit rate, 19.2k is just effective throughput,
right?  Is there anyone with a faster bit rate?  I recently read Hayes's
announcement of their new modem, _fast_.  To whatat kind of standards does it
adhere? 

   I guess I'm looking for the fastest modem with the greatest degree of 
compatability.  If I get a Trailblazer now, will I be communicating at
19.2k with that one board and then at 2400 with everyone else?  Should I
maybe just hold on to my own modem a while longer?
