Unfortunately, I lost most of the modem responses, but I'll try to fill some of
the details in.

		I purchases a ZOOM modem directly from ZOOM last year.

I have never had an ounce of trouble from it, and at that time the were

offering a SEVEN year warranty.  I bought it for approx. $135 with the 

seven year warranty.  I figured that I'd have a 9600 bps by the time the 

warranty wears out.  This would be my recommendation.  And it is a personal

opinion.  Oh yea, it's external, comes with db8 to rs232 cable, manual, and

lots of free joins to various bulletin board systems.

	I know you can buy one from MacConnection.

             ----------------------------------------------

I gotten the most responses for the Supra modem, all of it was positive.  Users
liked the price, and the modem's flawlessly performance.  Earlier modem however
had some line-noise problem.  Supra modem can be brought from Mail order for as
low as $115.

               --------------------------------------------

I have gotten a few responses for Promethuses modem.  A number of user praised
its support.  Price is a bit more than Supra.

                ---------------------------------------------

I have gotten 2 response for Practical Perpherial.  Family computing review
said it's support staff is very helpful.  A similar praise from a certain user
who live by his practical perpherial modem, and nothing else.

as low
