Something with a Flash BIOS.

I got my MultiTech 2834BA cheap because it was so expensive that no one
bought any and "the place I got it from" discontinued it and dumped their
inventory (two, how many $800 modems would you order?). Look around, it is 
a reasonable pattern and could happen elsewhere.

I like it alot.

My old Courier v.everything also had a flash BIOS. Should save you from at 
least one upgrade. And it really did connect and stay connected better 
than the Sportster that I had before it.
