[comp.sys.mac.hardware] Need Recommendation on 2400 baud Modems

psu@mtuni.ATT.COM (Paul Siu) (03/02/90)

I am planning to buy a 2400 baud modem this month.  I like to hear some
recommandations.  I like to know whether the modem can stand line noise, special
features, and the quality of the customer services.

I am also confused over the advantage of MNP.  I know what MNP is, but since I
don't own 2 MNP modems, I like to know what advantage I will gain.  Does any
commerical telecommunication services accept MNP.

I have a 2400 baud Prometheus that I upgraded from
a 1200. Both modems have performed flawlessly for
years. They're good products...

	Hello there,

		I purchases a ZOOM modem directly from ZOOM last year.

I have never had an ounce of trouble from it, and at that time the were

offering a SEVEN year warranty.  I bought it for approx. $135 with the 

seven year warranty.  I figured that I'd have a 9600 bps by the time the 

warranty wears out.  This would be my recommendation.  And it is a personal

opinion.  Oh yea, it's external, comes with db8 to rs232 cable, manual, and

lots of free joins to various bulletin board systems.

	I know you can buy one from MacConnection.
