On his death bed Glen Collins uttered modems for a BBS to All.....

 GC> What I'd like to know is, can anyone recommend good modems around that
 GC> price, that would suit my needs....   I have the prices of plenty of
 GC> modems ranging from $155 up to $999, but I would really have a clue how
 GC> they actually perform...  The KTX brand seems to be the cheapest
 GC> starting at around $155, then the dynalink, lightspeed etc.
 GC> Are any of those cheaply priced modems any good? I payed over $300 for
 GC> a Netcomm Roadster about 10 months ago, and thats had non stop
 GC> problems... And now I see all teh modem reviews paying that modem out
 GC> big time... Most users connect at 24000 with that modem... rarely 28.8k
 GC> and never 33.6k :( So don't bother recommending that modem to me :)

 GC> Also I've heard good things about Spirits, they start from about $300+

 GC> Thanks to anyone that can help me out in this desprite situation!
 GC> Please reply via this message area or via netmail to  3:712/526

I'd highly recommend the Tasmanian Devil, its not exactly a branded
model but it is 33.6kbps and it has very good cps rates, compared
to my smashed roadster which cost me nearly 3 times as much. I can
get around 3300cps constantly sometimes giving a constant 3900cps.
The tassy devil can be had for under $200 for the external model.

... Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.
