Hello Marty!

  MJ> Don't forget....The Quadra has better serial ports...

What is wrong with the IIci's serial ports?  Does the Q700
use an I/O Processor like IIfx, Q900 and Q950?  I'm guessing
that it doesn't have GeoPort.

One of the jobs I might consider a IIci for is a remote
access server.  www.lowendmac.com say that the IIci's serial
port is "...normally restricted to 57.6 kbps..." (with local
-talk disabled).  If I use a V34 modem with data compression
turned off, that should probably be adequate.

Regards,
