Congratulations!

However, I suggest you reserve judgement. I started off like you, with
my Sportster Voice Fax Modem in a state of euphoria (me not the modem).
Then things started to decay. So much so that I now switch to the 28.8
lines after three failures. At first those seemed 100% reliable and
then, the 28.8 connections started to fail as well....

Oh dear.
