A used on seems to be the best choice these days. Be carefull about ELSA/devolo modems, they had been using a fine working Lucent chipset, but now are using an STM softmodem one. They didn't change the product name. USR/3Com is also bad these day, they have a new softmodem modell now. Maybe Multitech is a choice - never tried them. If you find one please let me know, I personally gave it up. -- B.Walter BWCT http://www.bwct.de bernd@bwct.de info@bwct.de
