- I am interested in buying a 14.4k bps external modem.
- But I have a few requirements:
- first it is preferable that the modem be price less than
- $400.
- Secondly the modem must be able to handle bad phone lines-
- especially dorm phone lines, and have, of course, MNP 2-5.
- Third, I hope I can buy it new, or used with the
- warranty card in it, or still on warranty for a long while.
- Last, I hope it would be upgradealble, the ROM, that is...
-
- I have been looking in Computer Shopper and PC Mag, but the only
- cheap modems are the ones that are generic. :(
-
- How do the Supra, Hayes, Boca, compare? I am willing to look
- into someother brands also.
-
- Thanks,
