- SKOKIE, Ill. -- March 23, 1992 -- U.S. Robotics today announced the
- addition of 14,400 bps products to its value-added Sportster product line.
- The new products include two CCITT V.32 bis data modems, the Sportster
- 14,400 and the Sportster 14,400/PC, priced at $519 and $475, respectively.
- The products are scheduled to ship in March.
-
- "The data communications industry is moving inexorably toward high-speed
- standards," said Marshall Toplansky, U.S. Robotics vice president of
- marketing. "The small business and home office target market is realizing
- that the slightly higher cost of a V.32bis product can be almost
- immediately offset by the significant savings in phone line charges."
-
- The new modems include complete compatibility with the CCITT V.32bis
- standard for 14,400 bps communication, the fastest CClTT-approved standard
- for dial-up modems. The Sportster 14,400 modems also support the slower
- CCITT data transmission standards. The products include the
-
- CCITT V.42 and V.42bis error control and data compression standards, for a
- theoretical maximum throughput speed of 38,400 bps.
-
- The Sportster 14,400/PC, an internal high-speed modem for PC-compatibles,
- includes Crosstalk Communicator communications software
