Here is my complete and total biased opinion :)

I personally didn't like them. The receive CPS were terribly slow (well
¨slower than the send speeds), and considering most of the BBS's I called
are ¨still using V.FC's the Flash Modem doesn't connect V.FC so most of the
time ¨I'm cruising around in 14400. The modem seemed to have a tendency to
drop out ¨alot whilst on a V.34 connection which I was never able to sus
out. Returned ¨it and got a Roadster.
