Well, a new machine and I'm starting from the bottom after selling
my Cube and getting an Intel box with NS3.3  So I've decided
since there is so much new that has happened I best should
start fresh and forget my previous setup as outdated :-)

Onwards...

The ZyXEL U1496 series was the hottest modem for NeXT when it
came, but I wonder what people are using these days?  I'm
considering the Elite (w/out ISDN) but it's not approved in
Norway :-( and has gotten very much bad press in comp.dcom.
modems for reliability, poor quality and upgrade possibility,
etc.

I have been using the 1496 for SLIP/PPP, NXFax for outgoing
faxes (excellent program!) and Jolly's am (answering machine)
for receiving faxes and voicemail.  Everything "just worked".

I'd like the same flexibility with my new machine, and wonder
if there are alternatives to ZyXEL - I don't suppose am
supports any other modem brands...?  A local dealer here
recommended an InterTex as being as good or better than
ZyXEL, but then I don't know if it's supported by the
programs I want to use (above). In germany this modem is 
called the "Ioriko" and in Sweden (where it's made) the
"Power Bit".

Comments/tips/advice/experiences welcomed.  please
e-mail (as soon as possible - I'm on a borrowed Courier
14.4 I have to return soon...)

Regards,
Thor
