I've never been to a hamfest...would like to tho..but I thought one could 
get a HST (maybe the 9600-only ones) for much cheaper than that and then 
upgrade to a v.34 Courier for $249 from USR..  But anyway...your 286 
should be able to do better than that!  My old 286/16 handles 14.4 just 
fine..and I've run 14.4 at full speed on an 8mhz XT clone too recently...
What comm program are you using?  You can get a working 14.4 external 
mail-order for $85 (Infotel...)..new.
