9600 baud dialup modems / TCP over serial lines

[Jim Mayer]

I am looking for information about 9600 baud modems. In particular:

Who makes them
How much do they cost?
How well do they work?
What parameters should I make my selection on?

Initially I will be using the modem for remote terminal access and some
file transfer. Later, I may want to run TCP/IP over the link. Some
particular questions I have are:

Can I get by with a fast switching half duplex modem?

Would one of the 9600/300 asymetrical full duplex modems
work OK for TCP when most of the traffic was in one direction?

What kind of driver support would I need to make the TCP stuff
work?

Thank you.

USRobotics makes good modems. Check them out.
