    I am looking for information about 9600 baud modems. In particular:
    Who makes them
    How much do they cost?
    How well do they work?
    What parameters should I make my selection on?
    Initially I will be using the modem for remote terminal access and some
    file transfer. Later, I may want to run TCP/IP over the link. Some
    particular questions I have are:
    Can I get by with a fast switching half duplex modem?
    Would one of the 9600/300 asymetrical full duplex modems
    work OK for TCP when most of the traffic was in one direction?
    What kind of driver support would I need to make the TCP stuff
    work?
    Thank you.

    USRobotics makes good modems. Check them out.
