Subject: 2400 bps modem

As I discussed in more detail on another list, there have been some
reports of compatibility problems with the US Robotics (and other
2400 bps modems as well).  A top level modem expert I know told
me that he personally would NOT buy into 2400's at this time
unless:

1) They were REALLY cheap (like $100 he said!)
2) You were going to only be talking to the same brand of modem
   at the other end.

He said that this situation is changing but that in his opinion
he's gotten too many bad reports and knows of too many manufacturing
changes under way to want to dive in at this juncture.

Just passing this along.
