The problem (from my point of view) is that it's only available reta= il in the Americas, not Europe. (nb USR (U.S. Robotics) will supply bulk p= acks to OEMs in Europe, but I can't find any way to buy just one modem!) Ev= erything else on the market, at least in UK, seems to be a controllerless m= odem (or winmodem, or softmodem). Note in particular the following models,= which I list to help others because they claim to be "hardware" but aren't= :- Sweex CA000010- Dynamode GM-LM56PCI/H- Zoom 3025CF Some of the Creative = "Modem Blaster" products are apparently hardware modems - but some models i= n the range are controllerless. As it's now a discontinued line, it's hard= to find info on which is which. ... Or if you know different to any of the= above, please tell me! So my final request is: if anyone knows how/where I= can buy the USR product in UK, please let me know! =20 Thanks and kind regards, Scott _________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the next generation of Windows Live http://www.windowslive.co.uk/get-live=
