Doug, I was just trying to give you an alternative in case you had the problem yourself. My meassage was totally unrelated to the COMS discussion. You could be using a Rockwell modem for all I care. My advice to any SI friend would have been just the same. Pancho PS: I may be wrong but I don't think youy will see COMS below $35, even if a big fire wipes out hong kong! I think why are getting to levels where it is safe to buy.

dougin, you are talking about ZD-Lab. While ZD-Lab is famous for bias test, the tests conducted by ZD-Lab wrt 56K modem is mostly valid! It clearly stated that user will expectr somewhere around 40k to 50k connection speed. Some real life tests performance in various states including NY also confirm the speed increase. Look 40k to 50k vs 24k to 31k is a lot of improvement! A P5-200MMX supposed to be 20% faster than a P5-166MMX but in real life you will only expect 5 to 10% performance increase because the bottleneck of other sub-systems but the price difference can buy you a 56k modem. I suggest you read your PC-Mag more carefully! Look, I am not trying to defense COMS's stock price, I am just debating on 56k modem technology. aC
