Hi,

Does anyone knoe which modem is actually better:

1) U.S. Robotics Courier v.32bis
2) Intel 14.4EX

Both have been rated as being fast modems.  Infoworld rated the Courier as its  
fastest modem, and PC Magazine rated the Intel.  Do you have any idea which is  
actually better?

I also have another article posted about the NeXT's serial port speed:
The Intel can handle up to 57,000 bps between the modem and the serial port,  
while the USR Courier goes up to about 38,000 -- the same as the NeXT's serial  
port.  Has NeXT under-rated their serial ports or is 38,400 bps the maximum?  I  
hear that Macintoshes can go all the way up to 57,000 bps!?!?

Thanks.
Eskandar.
