Hello,

Can't say that I've been wildly enthused about the performance of any USR
modem. There are better buys for less money, and in several hardware tests
cheap modems with Rockwell chipsets (now Connexant) like for instance the
E-Tech Bullet 56 (RVP) happened to outperform USR products.

If you want to spend USR money and have some time there are some jewels to
be found. Lately I managed to put my hands on an external modem that had
been on my wish list for several years but had been way beyond my budget.
It's the ZyXEL U-90E and with $30 (brand-new with bill and warranty on
eBay) I paid about 1/10 of the original (European) list-price. 

It's advantage is that it can adapt to any protocol or speed, fax modem
Class 1, 2, you name it. Temporarily unable to use ADSL I decided to make
use of the ZyXEL instead of my other 56K external and was impressed with
the speed improvement of everything it does, whether dialing, handshake,
data- or fax-transfer. PMfaxPro now functions better than ever, Injoy,
DOIP, all great.

Regards,
Jan
