Several manufacturers now make 2400 baud modems for the dial up network. NEC
has a 300/1200/2400 baud modem with auto dialer (Hayes style) for $1090 list.
Rixon has a 1200/2400 with auto dial for $1300 and they have a 300/1200/2400 on
the way for even less money. Concord has a 1200/2400 but I don't know the price
and I don't know if it also does 300.

We will be testing the NEC at UCSD on a backbone news link as soon as we get
some. It looks like it will be a winner. Rixon will announce their newest
product at Comdex in November. Western Scientific distributes for both Rixon
and NEC. I expect we will post some results on the net as soon as we have some.
