- I'm looking for some inexpensive short-haul modems that will go
- 38400bps on async RS232. I've seen fairly inexpensive models in the
- Black Box and South Hills catalogs (well, inexpensive for the catalogs
- in question) that will go up to 19200 async, and some that will go
- 38400 synchronous, but nothing that will go 38.4 async. I only need
- to traverse about a half-mile stretch of two-pair, so though it's too
- far for RS422, even the el-cheapo low-power models seem to offer
- enough in that respect. Can anyone suggest a reputable, fairly
- inexpensive source for what I'm looking for? Alternately, if nobody
- builds any that wil do 38.4K async, a cheaper source than the
- aforementioned catalogs for a model that will work at 19.2K would be
- appreciated!
