[comp.dcom.modems] Modem recommendations

dsmith@oregon.uoregon.edu (Dale Smith) (01/17/90)

I need to buy a dozen 2400 baud modems and four 9600 baud modems to
upgrade my modem pool and I am looking for recommendations.

The 2400 baud modems should be MNP level 5 with fallback to 1200 and
300.  I currently have some ventel modems meeting those specs, however,
they take forever (10 seconds) after connection before they will pass
data (presumabley to negotiate all the MNP stuff).  It would be nice to
get some better ones this round. 

All these modems will be answer-only, serving as our modem pool for the
majority of our campus.  Since I am putting them all in the same place,
rack mount cages would be nice.

Thanks in advance,
