I was not simply giving an example of a V.32 modem. The Microcam modem is
MUCH more expensive. The reason I mentioned the UDS was its price. At $1145,
it is the cheapest true V.32 modem I know of. (The Omnitell, at $995, isn't
due until next year, and they are not [as far as I know] in the same league
as UDS.)

One other point- MNP L9 isn't going to do you much good for most use of
remote appletalk. This is because typical AT traffic doesn't compress too
well. It might work well for file transfer (finder copies) but I'm not sure.
But if you're going to be doing file transfer, it makes much more sense to
buy a telecomm program and a Telebit TB+.
