- Hi,
- Which external modem would you recommend for 28.8 Internet
- connection + fax + voice mail? (Reliability, features, quality
- of the connection, price and tech support - all considered?)
- US Robotics Sportster Vi 33.6 is a nice modem, but it doesn't
- have flash ROM. In the Computer Shopper review I found three
- models which have both flash ROM and voice mail capability -
- Cardinal MVP288XS, Hayes Optima288 and Zyxel Elite. Strange -
- both Zyxel and Hayes modems cost more than $400, while Cardinal
- is only slightly above $200. Is there something wrong with
- Cardinal? Anybody has any experience with it? Why on earth would
- somebody want to pay twice as much for the unit with apparently
- identical features and parameters?
- Please comment if you can.
- Regards,
- Dmitri
