I need to buy a 2400 baud (external) modem for a mac. The price of
these seem to vary greatly. MacWarehouse sells a 2400 "Fully Hayes AT
Compatible" modem for $99 including cable and "MacKnowledge" software.
In the back of MacWeek, I see several modems including Challenger
VP2400 for $69, Anchor Automation 2400E5 M for $245, Hayes 2400
Smartmodem for $378, Hayes 2400 SmartModem V.42 for $478 and
Prometheus 2400 MNP5 for $230.
What is the difference between these modems? Is it a matter of speed?
Data compression? Compatiblity?
Please help me make a wise decision. I will be using this modem for
Applelink and remote access to Unix machines.
Are there other advantates to Fax modems?
I apologize if this has been discussed recently here, I normally don't
read this group.
Thanks for you help.
