Hi,

I need to buy a modem this week for my P120 freebsd 4.3 box.  Every time I
look for one, I can never tell if it's a crappy winmodem or not.

What do I look for?  Any models you can recommend? I do want it to be cheap
cuz it will only be used as backup if dsl goes down (which with routed idsl,
rarely happens).

I know most the modems out there are win modems, but they hide it.  Even a
zoom modem for $80 I saw was a winmodem (I read review).

Please advise.

Thanks.

Doug.
