-
- I've been hearing good things about it. The parallel ports are definately
- a waste for myself though.

- Should be fast enough :-) Its not like i'd ever really have a need to use
- 76.8k anyways :-)
-
- >Zyxel 16800 - Locked at 57600 baud
-
- Which is what i'd be doing.

-
- I've found that the A2232 generally fixed this as well, but the ASDG
- definately didn't.

-
- Not running DLG anymore, so really, the onlything we've got in common as
- far as software is the UUCP stuff :-)
-

-
- With a high-speed printer this would be valid, but since i've got a puny
- little Citizen-120d, its not relevent :-)
-
- >Price : 259 $$
-
- 259$ in what currency? I have the feeling that this is going to convert
- to a little more than what I want to pay right now :-(
-
- > Internet : <username>skylink.sublink.org
-
- I would assume that its Username@skylink.sublink.org?
