- I have to disagree with this. I had 2 Telepaths and neither would connect
- reliably at speed greater than 2400 baud with my phone lines. My USR modem
- works fine with my lines. The FAX did connect at high speeds and worked fine.
- Gateway didn't give me any hassles about returning the modems, so you could
- buy one to test with your lines.
