- I'll recommend the modem I have. Practical Peripherals PM14400FXSA.
- I'll also recommend the people I got it from, PC Connection. 1-800-800-0004,
- if I remember correctly. They have it for $399, so if you have to have it
- for under $400 _including_ shipping and handling, you'll have to go elsewhere,
- other folks sell it for a little bit less.
-
- The modem supports v.32bis/42bis/32/42/22bis/22/21/29/27ter. And other stuff.
- It comes with QuickLink II/Fax software, works just fine with other stuff too.
- The modem is covered by a lifetime warranty. ($15 for return shipping if you
- have to send it back to get fixed).
- ROM upgrades are free, and thus far have come out every 3-4 months. You do
- have to call and request them.
- Software upgrades are also free, though not as frequent as ROM upgrades.
- Support is available via voice, bbs, fax, and CompuServe. In the voice
- department, I suggest calling late at night and leaving a message on their
- voice-mail system. A tech will return the call (their expense) the next
- morning.
-
- I've had the unit for over half a year now, with no difficulties at all since
- the first ROM upgrade.
