- Greetings. I've just purchased a Mac, and I'm looking for a
- good modem for it. The local Fry's carries an external
- model by Viva, which claims to do 14.4Kbaud, support V.32bis,
- V.42 and V.42bis, as well as the MNP error-correction and
- compression protocols (I forget the numbers), and fax send/receive.
-
- That seems to me like a pretty exhaustive list of protocols--
- but I don't know whether it delivers. Has anyone out there
- used this modem? Have any impressions to share? Does anyone
- have any favorites in the cheap, high-speed modem department?
-
- thanks,
- arthur
