- The November issue of MacUser magazine has an excellent report on V.32bis
- modems, and did tests using PTT telephone network simulators. They found
- top performance by the Motorola UDS V.3229 and almost equivalent
- performance
- for a lot less money by the Supra FaxModem v.32bis. Close behind was the
- Practical Peripherals PM14400FXSA. Zoom did well on clean lines, but
- could not connect over impaired long subscriber loop (rural) lines due
- to high attenuation distortion. For others, see the article. Hope this
- helps!
