Modem speeds surge with new 28 800 bps models
The Hayes Optima 288 external and internal modems push 28,800 bps, with prices around 280 and 250. ITU standards like V.34 and V.42bis enable compression gains up to 115,200 bps. Hardware limits include older serial ports and compatibility issues across brands. Hayes and US Robotics offer updates and faster options, often requiring new ports or hardware upgrades.
