    14.4 was all I needed, until I got on the Web. Even then,
it was doing OK, but at $1 per hour, seemed like it might
eventually turn out to be economical to get a faster one.
    300 bps? Holy Mackerel! First one I had was 1200, then
went to 2400, then leaped to the 14.4 which, to me, was
blazingly fast.
