but the R2 external modems will connect through USB port, Thanks for the info. I will check with MCOM on the options... Of the dozen+ computers I work with all are NT or Win95 and none have USB. Regards Zeuspaul

MCOM technical support, they are very responsive. You can say that again! I believe this is the first time I have ever received an email response from a corporation submitted on a weekend...same day (hours)..Saturday night..and best of all the new 128K modem has both the serial and the USB interface. email response from MCOM follows.. Zeuspaul To answer your questions: Our new 128K modem will have both USB and serial cables available, so it will work with either. Using the optional serial cable will keep the modem from achieving the full 128K. Early tests show about 80K as the max speed using the standard PC serial port. That is the main reason we went with USB. Our current modems will work on the 128K Ricochet 2 network, but probably running at sub-56K speeds.
