- Pure speculation on my part here, but (a) modem speeds will increase
- such that 115kb will eventually be obsolete, so "yes" I would like a product
- now that does it; and (b) eventually (I hope) serial will be replaced with
- something better (faster, more standardized, just as cheap/easy/available,
- etc.), also obsoleting 115kb boards, but I don't see that in the near term,
- so again "yes" I'd like such a board now. Also given that just getting 38kb
- in a serial board for a unix box seems less than a given, I'd like to see
- the pressure applied so that high speed connections are made easier to
- obtain.
