Hi Adrian

I used a Banksia PCCard Modem in my notebook for around eight
months until it got zapped by lightning on a trip to Melbourne,
when I had been lazy enough not to take my lightning protector
with me. I was more than happy with its performance and talked
my elder brother into buying the same for his notebook, when
I went to replace it I was not able to get another *that day*
so I purchased a Netcomm, perhaps its just my imagination but
I think the Banksia was quicker.
