-

- affection, we've implemented the program you've been
- waiting for! Trade-in that dusty ol' "other brand" high
- speed modem, or a prior-generation U.S. Robotics high
- speed modem, and get an incredible deal on a BRAND NEW
- Courier HST Dual Standard modem, complete with V.32bis.
-
- $299.* for USR SYSOPs (plus your qualified U.S. Robotics
- trade-in modem)
-
- $399. for NON-USR SYSOPs (plus your qualified non-U.S.
- Robotics trade-in modem)
-

- to one modem per SYSOP. All prices are quoted in U.S.
- dollars. Rebate information follows.
- _________________________________________________________
-
- Here's what you get with this promotion:
-
- We'll ship you a brand new Courier HST Dual Standard
- modem, complete with V.32bis. All modems include a full
- warranty from U.S. Robotics. The advanced features on
- this modem include:
-
- o Courier HST 14,400 bps and CCITT V.32bis 14,400
- bps technology IN THE SAME MODEM. You can communicate
- with the VAST installed base of Courier HST's in the
- BBS community, and can still be compatible with the
- new CCITT standard.
-
- o V.32bis (the new CCITT standard for 14,400bps full
- duplex communications -- 50% faster than ordinary V.32
- modems) not only slows down when line noise is
- encountered, but also speeds back up when line
- conditions improve.
-
- o Complete compatibility with all prior generation
- Courier HST modems, and V.32 modems. In fact,
- COMPUSERVE, the leading commercial on-line service,
- has standardized high-speed hook up on the Courier HST
- Dual Standard modem.
-
- o The latest data compression and error control
- standards, MNP 2-5, and V.42/V.42bis - throughput
- reaches 38,400bps!
-
- o ASL* (Adaptive speed leveling). Only Courier
- high-speed modems include ASL, a feature that lets
- each modem channel transmit data independently.
