I am interested in providing remote support to a sight in Canada. 
(I'm in CA).  I think I can use Timbuktu, Timbuktu/Remote and a 
fast modem to do this.

1) How fast does the modem need to be?  Has anybody really used it 
at 2400 baud?

2) Is there any way to use a Liason instead of Timbuktu/Remote? 

3) I will probably need a 9600 baud modem.  I would like to use it 
for other connections also. Not so long ago, I decided the market was 
too fragmented and modems too incompatible to make a good choice.  
Is that still true?

What is the current information regarding 9600 baud modems?  
Have any reviews been published?  Is there a clear market leader?  
Or is the market still in a disarray of incompatible brands?

In particular, MacNet is offering a Racal-Vadic 9600 for $999.  This
is 
a true v32 full duplex modem.  Is this a good buy?

Thanks,
