They wrote:
> What is an hst?
<G>

Write your reply.

assistant: Not to be nasty, but if you need to ask, you don't need this modem.
Basically, HST was an early attempt to speed up modems.  Two HST modems
linked can achieve very good thruput rates in ONE direction, but the
direction can shift as the load shifts, unlike the new 56K modems which are
high speed receive.
    This modem made solid 9600 connects with my Sportsters and Couriers.  I
never connected with another HST, so I'm not sure what the connect would have
been there.  It is a demo modem that is out of the demo period, but the demo
tag is riveted on - and I'm not going to bust the cast trying to remove it.
    It was packaged in working condition, with power supply and manual.  Will
sell for $50 shipped, as is.

Write your reply.

assistant: PANASONIC MULTI-SHUTTLE EXTERNAL DRIVE
This is a do-it-all 640mb re-writable optical and 4X CDROM drive in
an external half-height case equipped with a carry strap. It
reads/writes PD optical disks and reads CDROMs. It has both SCSI
[centronic-50] and standard [DB-25] parallel port connectors [with pass
through for printer connection] thus can be connected to virtually any
PC or Mac. It loads quickly and effortlessly via a batch file in DOS and
is plug-n-play for Win95.
It comes in the original box with the user's manual, software drivers
for all operating systems, a bi-directional parallel cable and a 640 mb
disk.
I paid $560 for the drive and a disk just a year ago. It has
approximately 30 hours of actual use, and it is in new condition.
Asking $350 + $10 shipping prepaid by money order. Reasonable offers
considered. Guaranteed non-DOA. Continental U.S. only.
