Dan can you give me a bit of help on selecting a modem.  I see that
modems have become very specialized and maybe to difficult to totally
understand by the average user.  Judging from the amount of traffic
going back and forth over the conference a lot of people are pretty
confused about all the various types of modems and how to get them to
work as they think or thought they were going to work!  I still use a
2400 baud internal for working the BBS and have tried it once or twice
on the internet.  It is obvious that I will need to upgrade soon to
something faster, but being of the old school I'm slow to change to
something that is not straight forward to set up and that the average
person with some technical experience can't figure out.  I don't want
something that is only software configureable or that runs only with DOS
Windows etc.  Are there modems out there that fit both worlds, either
hardware jumper configurable and which will run with Dos or Windows or
any other operating system that you are using?  If so who makes them and
how do I get information on them.  Are there any listing that you know
of that list all the various models since 14.4 modems came into
existence and give their capabilities?  What are the major Manufactures
today and which are the most reliable?
Thank you
