*laugh* Umm, I can't see how 945cps on a V.32 link is 'slower'.  Then again,
I guess I'm one of those fascists with a TT.  Really, you can't expect the
state of the art to continue to work on a system now 7 years old...

I have a couple of Motorala Codex 2260's that I picked up in a pile of junk
for effectively nothing.  Sure, they don't have lots of the 'nice' features,
and if you leave them on too long they make the room warm, but they do v.32
just fine.
