RJ> the best (read reliable) modem to buy  to replace my 14400 Banksia Fax

I don't want to havee to give my first-born as a deposit on it! I've got 

a coupla ton squirrelled away and could prolly go $400.00.



 PE> You do realise that if you're doing O/S data transfers, that you're

Why for? I woulda thought that 28800 or even 33k with EC would be a whole lot

quicker than 14400.



 PE> probably only see a speed improvement if you are transferring a file

 PE> 14400 unless you can cost-justify the increase.  BFN.  Paul. 



I'll be using Navigator for my "surfing" and any files will be text type

files of indexes and date of hatches, matches and dispatches. 

Not usually more than a coupla hundred K bytes in compressed format.

I'll stick with the 14400 for a while and see how it goes. No need to fix

it if it ain't broke.

TTFN,  Bob.



... I'm only paranoid 'cos EVERYONE is out to get me.
