I know nothing about the Paradyne DataPort but am interested in 
learning about it.  A friend of mine (karl@ddsw1.mcs.com) ordered
some of these for testing with his PPP netblazer setup -- and I
am awaiting the details of this test.  Personally, I have Telebit
Worldblazers and US Robotics Courier Dual Standards with the 16.8
& Fax option.  I get excellent throughput on all lines -- with 
slightly higher v.32bis throughput on the USR modems over the
Telebits.
