I need to buy a modem for my 386SX PC at home and am turning to the
net for some advice. I would love to have MNP level 5 on it but can't afford
it since I am still a college student. I would like any recommendations for
a 2400 baud internal modem that is reliable (and cheap). In a catalog from
JDR Microelectronics they have a 2400 baud internal modem for $89.95 that
includes ProComm but I know nothing of their reputation. Also, I have seen
a 2400 baud internal listed in the Fast Micro ads for around the same price.
Do any of you have recommendations and/or experiences with modems? I would
prefer to have E-mail directly because I am usually behind on my network
reading but I will find it either way. Thanks in advance.

P.S. Anything has to be better than the 300 baud acoustic coupler I borrowed
from work. It hasn't cost me anything but the speed (actually, lack
thereof) is driving me completely insane.
