I'm looking for a good deal on a 9600 bps modem. It needs
to work with a Hayes Smartmodem 9600, which I believe means
it needs to be V.32 compatible.
So far I've only looked as far as MacConnection. They have the
Hayes for $759. I'm wondering if I might do better than this
by going with another brand or another retailer.
Please e-mail responses. I'll post a summary if people desire.

The Hayes modems weren't V.32 until very recently, so I think you are stuck with the Hayes. If you want to also talk with the rest of the world, I think Hayes makes a modem that knows V.32 and their old protocol. But it will be mucho $$$$. -- Matthew T.

If you look in computer shopper, you should be able to find V.32 modems for about $600-$700. Anyone know whatever happened to that chip set (2 chips I think) that would put a 9600 bps modem on 2 chips and cause a large price reduction similar to the one a ways back on 2400 bps modems? I think it was mentioned in a MacUser or MacWorld modem article. Erik Reuter eer36024@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu
