Everything you say is true Bob, but it should also be tempered with consideration for
the longevity of the technology.

I started out back in the days of 300 baud units and - so far -  I have not used any
one particular modem technology for more than two years.....  So I think that worrying
about what will be happening in 3-5 years is not really that important.
