Rich bankruptcy sources
Article Abstract:
Information on bankruptcy law is available from a number of electronic sources. The US Bankruptcy Court offers a Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) system that allows users to find information on active, new and closed cases and on claims and claimants. Most data may be printed or downloaded to a disk. Users must register with the service, and a $1-per-minute fee applies. The Norton/Bankruptcy Service Plus includes a CD that holds the Norton Bankruptcy Code and Rules and the Norton Bankruptcy Law and Practice 2d treatises. It also provides over 52,000 cases, many case digests and 500 forms that may be transferred for use on word processors. The CD also lets users access the Nexis-Lexis bankruptcy law database if they have a Lexis-Nexis account. The CD costs $1,195 for users who already subscribe to the printed versions of the Norton treatises. The Internet and the Web also offer sites dedicated to bankruptcy law.

Move into the fast lane
Article Abstract:
MultiTech Systems' $249 MultiModem 33.6K is a bulky, external modem that provides fast connectivity for an affordable price. To install MultiModem 33.6K, however, the user is required to first purchase a separate cable to connect it to a computer. The MultiModem does realize its promised speed once a user is connected to a 33.6-bps modem, but communication is limited to the speed of the modem at the other end. The MultiModem is also stronger than traditional phone connections, which tend to be poor. MultiModem's external features can be connected to various types of computers, and MultiTech does not include a connection cable with the modem since the appropriate cable depends on the type of computer used. The modem is a perfect addition to offices where multiple hardware platforms are employed.
