I just had to switch a friend off a "56K" soft modem that crapped out every five minutes or so for a slower (28.8K IIRC) but much more reliable hardware modem. Tony

So who makes good hardware modems these days? - (lincoln) - (4) - Dec. 30, 2002, 10:22:12 AM EST

USR has been trouble-free for me. Pricey though. - (Another Scott) - Dec. 30, 2002, 10:41:04 AM EST

USR still makes great modems... - (folkert) - Dec. 30, 2002, 11:30:28 AM EST
