Modems are something that calls up religious type responses, so I expect at least one person to tell me how dumb my suggestions are here ... Anyhow, when it was time to buy another modem, I checked PC magazine, and caught their modem review. I was interested in two main things, what it's error rate in noise was, and what it's tested intercompatibility was. As I remember, PC magazine disappointed me in not directly testing the error rate versus noise (BER) but it did give the US Robotics modems pretty good intercompatibilty ratings. I've used Mutlitech modems, and personally tested their BER vs. noise specs, and liked them. I personally bought USR. Maybe that tells you something. > > Top 5? > > -- > Daniel Ortmann 507.288.7732 (h) ortmann@isl.net > 2414 30 av NW, #D 507.253.6795 (w) ortmann@vnet.ibm.com > Rochester, MN 55901 "PERL: The Swiss Army Chainsaw" > > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 3.0 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
