"It must be a misprint because I've have a 9600 v.32 and call that

"

I use them all the time and I know they are only 2400bps. I cannot seem
to get the Merit V.32 modems to work reliably with a connection from 
here to Destroyer. I've tried the ones in Dearborn and Ann Arbor (My
end has a Telebit T3000).  It fails in the middle of compressed news
transfers. Even when it does work, I get better throughput by using
2400bps. Go figure.
