We bought some PCs from Mesh a few weeks ago and they were supplied to
us with HSP modems, these are useless with Linux.  This is "clear"
from the ads in Computer Shopper/etc if you read the small print!  We
didn't and so have had to buy replacements.  AFAIK they work fine in
Windoze though.  And I don't rate the Taxan 17" monitors they sent us
very highly, everything else seemed fine.  PII 266 systems.
