I am of course looking for something that works well with freebsd, is external, and is 56k v.90. People have reccomended that I get a USR courier but I dont want to spend all that money if my connection will not be faster than with something like a 56k sportster. With a Hayes Accura external 56k I connect at around 31.2 kbps, with an internal 56k motorola modemsurfer i get around 33.6 kbps. Could anyone who has used these modems estimate what my connection speed with a courier might be based on the connect speeds of the other modems or even reccomend a different modem? Thnx in advance.
