pac@munsell.UUCP (Paul Czarnecki) (11/25/86)
A friend of mine found this on a BB somewhere. Does anybody have any
experiece with this and UUCP? It sounds really good. I've tried to
trim a lot of the hype away from it. I have removed the phone number
so it isn't too commercial. Send me mail if you want it. And no, I
don't work for them either
My friend called FASTCOMM and they seemed willing to sell him one at
the regular price of $1100, but they were unable to tell him the
number of a BB that had them at the cheaper price. He didn't know
what protocol it's 9600 baud was, nor if whne it degraded to 2400 baud
was it V.22 compatible.
