Maybe so, but you get more for your money. This is assuming that you are
not restricting yourself to 14.4 kbps. I'm getting an average of around
2kB/s sending compressed files in both directions over SLIP from a pair
of ZyXEL 1496E+ modems. All I need now is decent fax and voice software :-)

What I would like to see is the computer answering the phone, and if it is
a voice call, say "Trying to connect your call..." and then ring the phone
handset, otherwise do not let the handset ring.
