	I recently purchased a US Robotics 9600 HST modem which can talk
at up 14,400 bps to another USR HST modem. I am now looking for any Mac
bbses which use this modem. I have a list of over 100 Atari ST BBSes which use
this modem, but have yet to find a SINGLE Mac bbs which uses this high speed
modem.  I also have some Amiga BBSes that run with the USR 9600 modem. But,
I can't seem to find ANY Mac BBSes that use it!!

	does this mean that Macintoshes can't call out at higher then 2400 baud??
If not, then which modem are the Mac bbses using?? I can't believe that Mac
bbs operators haven't heard about the great deals that US Robotoics offers
to bbs operators. I got my USR 9600 baud modem for $495 as a sysop.

	So, please send the name, phone number, and system password (if any)
of any Mac bbses which use the high speed USR 9600 HST modem. I will compile
a list and post it here.

	P.S. Don't Mac people call out on modems?? I just got my Mac and would
like to call other Mac users. But it is too expensive to call at less then 14400
bps!! Hey, at 14400 bps you get over 100K of data transfer per minute!!! Great
for capturing those long messages and reading them offline!! HELP!! HELP!!!!

	I am looking for ONLY 9600/14400 USR Boards, please!!!
