Yes - with a T2500 (with V.32) but not with a T2000 or Trailblazer Plus. >>then get a trailblazer for uucp, and get a regular HST to stay in touch >>with the DOS boards >This seems interesting (again, please bear with me as I have zero experience in >the high-performance modem world). If I were to go this way, what should I >expect to pay - how much is a USR regular (but new - 14.4) HST modem >(I should get MNP with that, right?). And, how much is a Trailblazer? HST DS to Sysops is around $750, end-user discount price is around $899, Trailblazer T2500 is around $950 and the Trailblazer Plus is around $790. The Telebits (as you know) will hold the line much better than the HST - while the HST will produce the highest transfers using non-uucp protocols - but the Telebit wins hands down on UUCP transfers. -- Larry Snyder, Northern Star Communications, Notre Dame, IN USA {larry@nstar, uunet!sco!romed!nstar!larry, nstar!larry@ndmath.math.nd.edu} backbone usenet newsfeeds available Public Access Unix Site (219) 289-0282 (5 high speed lines)
