Re: 28800 modems?

[Carl Galgano <cgalgano@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A while back we had some trouble buying the new 28.8 "options' modem that is
produced by MultiTech.  We were told at that time they could only be ordered
with new AS400 installs.  So we have standardized most of our clients modem
needs on UDS V3400s when SYNC is a requirement and US Robotics when only
ASYNC is needed.
