I later got a 14.4/16.8k (dual standard, Courier and
HST, anyone remember
these?) which was the BOMB --- no one had anything faster in the early
90's.
The Couriers were the modems to drool over in the BBS days. When modem
prices came down a few years ago, I picked myself up a Courier V.Everything
modem (which does 16,800 bps HST and 56K v.90, along with all the rates
below them). It is still the best modem ever produced (and one of the
largest :) ).
