Transmission speed varies with the quality of connection, the makers claim that over the worst line they've found they still get 5000 bps, error free. Of course you need one of these modems on both ends to get this throughput (although there is a standard 300/1200 modem in each) and you pay for it ($1995 US for an IBM PC card and $2395 US for a stand-alone). The company that markets this is Telebit in Cupertino Calif, and Digital Communications Associates (Alpharetta, Ga.). Dave Forsey Computer Graphics Laboratory University of Waterloo, Waterloo Ont.
