- No Caller-ID, but I've heard very few complaints of people with them,
- and those were blatantly dysfunctional units. I believe the only
- modems with Caller-ID (in the sub-$500 range) are the Supra and ZyXel.
- The Supras I have encountered tend to be a tad bit antisocial toward
- other 14.4's, and nobody in my area has a ZyXel yet that I know of.
-
- I'd like to see Caller-ID on my PPI V.*bis toy ... or perhaps an
- improved daughterboard to support higher speeds (V.fast), but
- responses to a question I asked on c.d.modems indicated that few
- manufacturers -- if any -- would have daughterboard upgrades from
- V.*bis to V.fast.
-
- Oh well, maybe the nice folks at Bell-Atl.Com will write back and tell
- me when I'll be able to get residential ISDN, and I can forget about
- V.fast. :)
