     I get quite a few users who get 28800 to my board with no problems.  I
live in an old area and have bad lines to boot.  I found that if I adjusted
the S9 & S10 registers to 90 that it works great.  I've called around the
country with it and had great connects almost everywhere I have called.

     Granted the Courier is an excellent modem but I could use the $80 I save
on something else I need form my BBS.  Like more dirve space.  I need to save
up $1100 so I can get that 4 gig drive I need...
