WRONG! Today I read in PC-Magazine (from January.1994) a small article about
a new modem that makes V-FAST and can be connected to the parallel port.I
think it is from Micro... and the model name is Desk... It would be interes-
ting to know how good it is, how good it works and if Telebit could do the
same with there new FastBlazer (it should come next March).
