   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   start fresh and forget my previous setup as outdated :-)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

How does this compare to ZyXEL. I always thought that ZyXEL was one of the 
top most reliable brands (if not the cheapest).

Also, does the ProClass work with NxFax? Does it have any advantages over 
ZyXEL?

It was rated the best overall V.34 modem by several leading computer
magazines.  It's also less expensive than the ZyXEL.  I am not knocking
ZyXEL whatsoever - they make an excellent modem.  However, they charge
a premium for it.
