    Nowadays it is hard to obtain a modem with a manual.  I've got manuals for
both my Courier's and for my Sportster.  I rarely reference them, but when I 
do, they usually tell me exactly what I need.

    Really, though, I think the extinction of modems is in the near future.  
They just can't meet up with the demands of today's high bandwidth 
requirements.  Of course, if they'd ban advertisements, I bet we wouldn't need
half of what we're currently using.
