- I'm in the process of buying a 14.4K internal modem and need some guidance.
- The brands I have had recommended include Intel, USR, Complete Comp,
- Practical Comp, MACS, and Boca. Excuse misspellings because all of these
- have been phone discussions. Price is an object but it doesn't outweigh
- reliability. A FAX feature is desirable but not a must if the price is
- right. The best price I found was on a Boca 14.4K FAX modem but one
- source told me they do not run reliably at 14.4K because they lack a
- UART, and one can't be added.
-
- Any and all recommendations, insights, and horror stories will be
- appreciated. Please get technical about various features, problems,
- etc. Please e-mail.

- Thanks in advance
