I use a Motorola BitSurfr Pro (bitsmurfer for some ;-) that can do V110 and
V.120. Use it to pull email & news via UUCP from my ISP. Works OK for me.
And has done so for years. It can also do PPP but that seems to be a lousy
implementation (all who were at the '98 hackersparty in Arnhem will know..)

In case anyone in Holland wants to give it a shot: I have a second
(spare) Bitsurfr Pro for someone who wants to do tracing or so. But it is
a loaner, after all it is my spare unit.
