>> Sony Vaio Z505HE
>> My main concern at this point is the modem

The HS (and almost certainly the HE) has this miserable modem:

http://808hi.com/56k/hcf1.htm

with a chipset from Conexant (Rockwell).  

From a "remote" location I can't stay connected to my equipment
I run (a PRI on a Lucent PM3), even at 28.8 with V34.

Dialing from a location in the same Central Office as the PRI (i.e.,
sitting right next to the PM3), I connect at 49k but the modem
renegotiates and/or retrains so often that it is unusable.

It is worthless (if you are dialing into Lucent chipset modems)
