Funny, I have got a Lifestyle 28.8 and have never had a problem with it.
It is probably the best modem I have owned.

Yes you are right. BUT, the hands free phone part is a dog. You get feed
back, people cant hear you, you cantt hear them, its not really
satisfactory. I have another hands free FAX machine and when I sit it in
exactly the same place I have no problems with hands free.

The Banksia is a good idea, but I beleive it needs a bit more work yet.
