Hi,

Here is a summary of the information I received about the 88110, 96002, and USR  
Courier v.32bis:

1) No information on MFLOPS rating of 88110 -- we only know that it
   processes up to 100 MIPS, and about 75 MIPS on average.
2) Sorry, the 96002 is NOT binary-compatible with the 56001.  But NeXT
   should at least keep the 56001 (maybe at a faster clock speed) if
   they intend to build a RISC machine -- many users bought NeXTs for the
   integrated DSP.
3) Buy the USR Courier v.32bis -- it's a great modem.  The NeXT will
   probable never get up to 57.6bps (modem to computer), but who ever
   does achieve these high rates anyway?
