Modem speeds

[Dave Nelson <dnelson@ESU3.ESU3.K12.NE.US>]

Many internet servers are providing slip connections which allow a much
easier way of navigating the internet.  Our ESU will be installing one
sometime this Fall so we can emulate a direct connection at home.  One of
our technology people mentioned that it doesn't make any differences in
speed to buy anything over a 9600 baud modem to navigate the internet.
Wouldn't it depend on which service you are connected to?  The latest Mac
Warehouse lists a 14.4 baud modem for $99 and a 28.4 baud modem for only
$150.  Does it do any good to buy these top speeds?  Please respond
directly to me!!!
