1/16    What a good place to buy an external modem in East/South bay or WWW?
        It must also accept incoming connections and be backward compatible
        \_ don't all modems accept incoming connections?  backward compatible
           with what?  2400 baud modems?  won't most (if not all) modems handle
           those too?
           \_ ever try 300 baud connections?
              \_ no, but i remember trying to d/l porn over 1200. it was not
                 a pleasant experience.
                 \_ mm, pr0n in 4-bit glory
              \_ yes, on my old 2400, when line noise was really bad.
           \_ Ever tried logging in to a Sparc via a serial cable?
              \_ I do this every day. Suns' serial ports run at 9600bps by
                 default, nothing to sneeze at. More than fast enough for
                 text-only work.
        \_ Answer the dude/chick's question already.
                 \_ But when I had to do that I got a rather noisy connection.
                    Wrong characters once every few minutes.  I'm sure my
                    serial cable was okay.
              \_ serial cable == modem ?
        \_ Uh, what's the difference?  Go get a USR or some other v.90
           compliant modem.  They're pretty much the same and all compatiable
           straight back to 300 baud if that floats your boat.  Only a true
           modem geek or ex-300-baud-BBS user would know or care about the
           details.
