- I think both modems are excellent. Neither modems gets my vote for fax.
- USR is great for free firmware upgrades for the life of the modem even
- if enhancements are included. Telebit offers good support for bug fixes
- and system integration. The USR is excellent for real time v.32bis latency
- and of course HST support while the WB works just dandy with PEP/TurboPEP
- and supports up to 115200 baud.
-
- For dialup SLIP, currently we use USR -- however I would like to try a
- AT&T v.32bis modem. For dialup UUCP, the WB.
-
- I still see WB v.32bis throughput falling about 100cps below that of the
- USR modems --- that is one problem I still haven't found an answer for, and
- others have reported the same as well..
-
- Maybe the 7.01 proms which I installed last week corrected the 100cps lag
- time, I don't know -- does anyone know exactly what 7.01 did?
