Because you can get 18000 real bps over a good line with a TB+? Because
you need to buy X00 modems and your budget is $X0,000? Because you have
to make a choice between a 9600 baud modem and paying rent? Because the
guy at the other end doesn't have one? Because you're talking UUCP or
Kermit over the modem? Lots of good reasons.
