Another rumor:

  About two years ago I talked with a guy at Codex who claimed that if
the marketeers could be convinced of its sailability, they could develop
a 9.6k dialup modem......

...I don't know why, UDS has been selling 9600 baud dialup modems for about
4 months now........

Are these 9600 baud DIALUP modems or leased line?

In that case, we may as well forget about 4800 baud modems.  Let's face
it:  no modem will ever win the America's cup.
