- Hello,
-
- These past couple of weeks I've been trying to figure out what kind of
- modem I want. I currently have two, (I plan on returning one) a Zoom
- ComStar 620 and a Cardinal MVP288Vi. It seems like the Zoom connects at
- 26400 more consitently than the Cardinal but when the Cardinal connects at
- 26400 the throughput is about the same with maybe a slight edge going to
- the Zoom. But the thing I really like about the Cardinal is the flash ROM
- and it's cheaper. The two are close enough in performance that I think I
- could live with either one but I'm trying to figure out which would be
- better in the long run, and which company has a better reputation for
- support and upgrades. Any suggestions?
-
- Thanks
-
- Rick
