- I am trying to figure out the cheapest (over time) and most reliable
- way to communicate with a missionary in Nairobi Kenya. I am looking
- into the availability of internet access in Nairobi, but I may be
- forced to use point-to-point dail-up. If I use dail-up, the connection
- will go through several satellites (Nairobi is 11 time zones advanced
- of me). I already have a WorldBlazer, so I can accommodate PEP or
- V.32bis w/ V.42bis. Does PEP (a half duplex modulation?) perform better
- or worse than V.32bis w/ V.42bis in a multi-satellite connection? (I
- plan to use a UUCP package running on the Mac or PC at either end of
- the connection.) If V.32bis is better in this case, are there any
- modems I should give special consideration to for the Nairobi end of
- the connection (my end will be a WorldBlazer) since all V.32bis modems
- are not created equal?
