WF> hello all..  Whats the best brand modem?



 WT> Whooo, tough question, one that could be argued to the end of time ;)

Definitely.



 WF> magazine said LightSpeed modems are the best, but  a computer place in

 WF> sydney, said they are ok, (priced at $310)



 WT> I haven't heard anything bad about them, and the price is nice. But I

 WT> wouldn't believe half of what I read about hardware recommendations

 WT> in a commercial magazine. 



Another sceptic like me... :)



 WF> thinking getting  a LightSpeed V.34 28k8 one, as in a mag it said it

 WF> was the best.  So..  any  help would be greatly apprieciated!



 WT> Well, as I said I haven't heard anything bad about it, and i've seen

 WT> a few people commending them [shrug] price is ok, why not?!? ;)



As a happy owner of a LightSpeed 14.4k faxmodem, I'll second that 'buy'

recommendation with one proviso:  Get a decent comms program to run it.

The Quicklink II program that bundles with it isn't very good.
