Hi Bill,

PS> And what I went with, Under $500, yep, paid $439 for it (northcote
BG>Damn good price for a Courier.  I can still remember when they cost over
BG>$1k (and that wasn't all that long ago either).
(and I was selling them for around $790 about 18 months ago :)

PS> Just got a call from Sweeden, he normally connects to the maestro at
PS> 4.8k - 7.2k, hit the USR at 14.4k (he has a USR as well)

BG>Whilst 14k4 V.34 still isn't all that great, it's nice to know that your
as a general rule, the connects between us *must* be limited to 4.8k
max, above that and crc errors start creaping in. A 14.4k connect is
absolutely brilliant! By now he knows I have a USR on line, and I
would guess he will make some init changes when he polls here (I know
I will be making some changes to my dial.ctl file for connecting to
his system :)

BG>ISD calls are now no more than half their previous cost, and at $1 per
BG>minute (or more) the savings are far from being trivial.
tell me about it, people may think how great thier sub $250 v.34 is,
but only when you have *bad* lines to try and connect over do the more
expensive modems show thier true value (The Supra was also pretty
good, and that was around $370 US bulk SysOp price 18 months ago)

 cya later,

 Paul.
