The Tandata modems will still work fine as long as you find in internet
dial-up connection that knows about V23, and you are happy downloading
at 1200 baud! All providers can handle dial-up, but may not go down to
that speed. My BBS won't work with any QL modem now. The USR Robotics
modem will handle V23 and speeds up to 56kb, but not at the same time (8-(#
I am now getting 4.5 Mbps internet connection. The Tandata is .0012
Mbps - over 4000 times slower!
With superHermes, supergoldcard and a modern modem you would get a full 56k.
