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... --clark -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Clark Anderson InterNet: anderson@apple.com CPU Engineering AppleLink: C.ANDERSON Apple Computer, Inc BellNet: 408-974-4593 "I speak only for myself, much to my employer's relief..." ---------------------------------------------------------------------

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. -Rob rp1vsanu@miamiu.muohio.edu
