I'm about to buy a 28.8k modem for BBS & internet use.  I'd like to buy
Australian if possible,  but it must work properly of course.  It would
be nice if it was a common enough model that it would appear in the 
configuration menus of most comms software.  It would be nice if the
manufacturer offered good warranty and support,  preferably without
having to ring STD from Melbourne.

I've read lots of mail in several modem areas.  Some peple seems to 
swear by their Netcomms,  others think they are absolute crap.  I assume
that the differences in opinion are due to peoples experiences with 
older models, lack of expertise/luck in setting them up, stupidity, etc.

I'm looking at the new (?) Netcomm Roadster with inbuilt fax switch.

Does anyone have any genuine opinions based on experience with this model?
