ml>well, it's not really anything potentially bad... i guess maybe more of a 
ml>name brand recognition thing... for example, before i 
ml>bought my first USR modem, i went thru like 5 different 
ml>modem manufacturers... all used rockwell stuff... i was 
ml>not happy with those experiances at all... i finally got 
ml>enough money together to get a USR and have never looked 
ml>back... i can't say that i won;t buy rockwell based

I started out with Zoom and have used many other brands through the years. I
have come to feel the USR (3Com) Courier is the best modem I have ever owned.
