- Well,
- It seems that NO ONE could say anything bad about this modem, the only
- mail replies I recieved where for people looking for the same info as me
- and requesting I forward it to them. It seems FIDOnet has a complete
- conference on Intel modems, but netters can't say anything about them?
-
- The only info I got that I didn't have before was that they might try
- allittle TOO much to get the top speed out of the line, and that they
- do NOT require a 286+ machine to use, only the software requires 286 or
- higher processing.
-
- I don't want to seem cynical, but most people flame up over the mention
- of the name Supra, Boc, ZyXel, PPI, or Zoom, but no one want to mention
- the Intel modems, must because they just work good, everytime. The other
- side of it could be that with millions of netters out there, no one uses
- the Intel because it so bad (doubtful, but possible).
-
- Oh, and to the poster who wondered if a 80186 processor on a modem is
- overkill? My reply, if it makes it faster, more reliable, more accurate,
- and/or better in anyway without increasing costs much, there is no such
- thing as overkill!
