[comp.dcom.telecom] Modems For Interactive Use

Lately, I've been using a US Robotics Courier HST 9600 modem for
interactive dial in.  It appears to be optimized for interactive use,
with a 9600 baud channel in one direction, and 300 baud in the other,
automatically switched, of course.  This beastie was fairly expensive
($700 or so); I'm not sure if there are less expensive clones
available.  I believe it also supports MNP5 on low speed connections,
thought I've never used this mode.

Using the Courier modem for dial in is a real treat after years of
being stuck with 2400 baud.
