Date: 11 Oct 93 19:19:06 GMT Organization: Center for Reliable and High-Performance Computing, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Lines: 12 Message-ID: <terry.750367146@uivlsisd.csl.uiuc.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: uivlsisd.csl.uiuc.edu A while back during the discussions of RS232 flow control, a few people mentioned that very few high speed modems actually implement flow control correctly and reliably or use a large enough buffer. Could the people in the know mention a few modems that do have good implementations? The popular choices seem to be the USR Sportster, Zoom, Supra, Intel, and the Hayes Accura. I've heard good things about ZyXEL but they seem to be more expensive. I'm looking for a good 14.4K FAX modem to use with my FreeBSD system. If possible, please post as the answers might benefit others. Thanks! -- Terry Lee (terry@uivlsi.csl.uiuc.edu) Coordinated Science Lab University of Illinois
