I don't have any experience with this particular modem. Two things to consider: - make sure that this isn't a "Win modem", where much of what usually happens inside the modem by a microcontroller gets to be done by your host CPU. This is things like V.42bis. - While having a rockwell chipset is a good sign, you should be aware that the quality of the analog front-end of the modem may be the limiting factor that will affect what rate the modem manages to train at. For instance, the USR Sportster and Courier modems have more or less the same DSP implementation, by the quality of the analog front end in the Courier will have it connect at at higher rate than the Sportster, all other things being equal. louie > I was looking in a mag that had a PCI 56K modem with the flex > technology and ability to upgrade V.90 made by Infotel.
