I couldn't see where anyone has reported on this modem-in-question in the faqs
so I'll ask here:  Has anyone used, or might there be opinions about:

	Computer Peripherals Inc.,  "Viva 14.4/Fax Modem"

I do not yet know all the jargon, but they specify:

	V.32bis high speed, full-duplex data modem w/ V.42bis &
	MNP5 compression, plus V.42 & MNP2-4 error detection and
	correction.  Hayes & G3 compatible.  $299 external.
	Comes with "Quick Link II FastFax" DOS sw (so what, right?)

So, do i understand that this is a 14.4k baud modem?  Could someone summarize
all of the "V-this, V-that" lingo for me... I take it to be different
compression schemes, but i-dunno, how's it all work?  Price ok?  NeXT
compatibility?

Other suggestions for a fax-modem?... the faq's seemed sorta dated on the
topic.

Thanks for any & all.
pax,
   Karl
