I recently received a rumor that the new Trailblazer modems
work great at 19.2kb, even cross-country on the dialup network.
Supposedly the San Diego supercomputer consortium uses them and
like thems. New roms fix the old long turnaround time problem.
This all sounds too good to be true. I'd love confirmation
about how these modems are for asynch terminal use, price, etc.

To add to Mark's request for information about Telebit's Trailblazer, I'd
be VERY interested in hearing from anyone using high-speed (>= 9600 baud)
modems for TCP/IP. We are investigating several different brands (including
Telebit and Microcom) and have had some trouble getting them to run at their
peak capacity. For reference, we are running SLIP so turn around time is
quite important. If you are doing similar work, could you please drop a note
mentioning the brand of modem, what sort of performance you get, what sort of
protocol you are using, and what sorts of calls do you make most frequently?
