Get a TrailBlazer, any model.  They are relatively inexpensive (many 
different ways of getting half off the list price), extremely reliable,
and are incredibly fast, especially with the protocol spoofing (Kermit, 
X-Modem, UUCP, etc... and Van Jacobson's Compressed SLIP should be
available Any Day Now(tm)).

I bought a TrailBlazer Plus, on a student's budget over five months ago
for half price (I registered my Sun-1 in the UUCP maps... that was the
condition of getting the discount bac then).  I have never had a problem
with it and even with a 68010 running SunOS, it gets well over 1.3k per
second throughput.  Oddly enough, I have yet to connect it to my 1040ST...

Cheers!greg
