- There's a 33.6 modem called Maclink. Despite the name, its for PCs and
- MACs.
-
- It goes for $130 at the only place I've seen selling it. Has anyone seen
- the Maclink anywhere else?
-
- Also, I know nothing about these 33.6's. Could somone set me straight on
- a couple things?
-
- 1) What identifies a modem as being 33.6? I've heard of several 28.8's
- being able to achieve 33.6, which is very confusing. Why would a company
- label their 33.6's as 28.8's?
-
- 2) Is compatibility an issue, or can all 33.6 modems connect at 33.6 given
- a perfect line?
-
- 3) USR's seem to be the most popular, but they're so much more expensive
- than other 33.6's. Why would anyone want a USR?
-
- 4) Is there a FAQ?
