- We have been using 40+ PPI PM288MT II v.34 modems in our modem pool
- and have had a lot of problems with them. I've sent back at least 25%
- of them after they quit working altogether. I've used one at home and
- had good luck with it. I now use a ProClass PC288LCD V.34 and I really
- like it. Excellent performance and the LCD display is great when I'm
- debugging connection problems.
