I have two USR HST 9600 modems and have been using them regularly to
upload/download software from several Remote CP/M systems using the
XMODEM (1k blocks) protocol. The thoughput is very good and I've
experienced no errors. The modems also work very well at 1200 and
2400 bps, with or without MNP.
The interactive terminal sessions are ok, too, even though the reverse
channel is 300 bps (most people can't type faster than that).
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the HST for any application where the
bulk of the data comes from one end at a time. It automaticaly
reverses, giving the 9600 bps channel to the end with the most data to
send. The swapping is transparent to the user.
If you can borrow one for a test, call my RCP/M for a first-hand look.
