You can't just casually buy cheap modems anywhere, including, I guess,
NCA.  Unless a friend or other knowledgeable person has recommended
it, a $99 28.8 modem is almost guaranteed to be a POS at this point
in time. I've given up buying bottom line modems; it's not worth
the initial troubles, nor the later surprise conflicts and flakiness
that surface.  The only cheap brand that seems to have proven itself
OK is Zoltrix, which I understand is also carried at NCA (roughly
$135 for 28.8 - v.34?).
