- I still think RPI modems are junk, because the price difference between RPI
- modems and REAL modems is usually $20-$30. IMHO, having a modem that will
- adapt to different systems and work after an operating system changeover is
- worth the extra few bucks. I'd bet most RPI modem users have wasted a lot
- more than 20 bucks worth of time trying to find the right driver, or get
- their modem to work with different software or hardware. Besides, if you
- think CPU-intensive stuff like JAVA is slow on a REAL modem, try it out with
- an RPI modem and compare.....
