- I purchased an external 2400 baud send/receive modem. I didn't bother
- spending the extral money for a 'Fax' modem.
-
- Now, fax modems go at 9600! (while in "normal" model they still go at
- 2400) I was under the impression that the 9600 rate could ONLY be
- used in FAX mode.
-
- A few days ago, a friend of mind (has an IBM compat. not a Mac) said
- that he was going to buy a modem and that he was going to make sure
- that it was 2400 send and 9600 receive. I was under the impression
- that he ment a FAX modem and told him that you can't buy a modem that
- receives at 9600 (unless you're willing to fork out the cash for it).
-
- Was/am I wrong? Can you buy modems that will receive at the amazing
- rate of 9600 baud and send at 2400?
-
- Please respond email (szikopou@ccs.carleton.ca)
