Jimleon - My only additional thought would be you might want to wait a few weeks as the joint 56k standard has been approved and you will shortly be able to buy a 3Com (USRX) modem or any other major manufacturer's that will work at 56k (well, 53k if you are lucky) with no incompatibilities. This may save you the hassle of buying an X2 modem or K56flex modem and having to upgrade it via software. John

Subject MODEMS USRX 56K is approximately $190 plus tax. Then you get a $30 rebate from this site: 3com.com. That site will also tell you all about the usrx modems, the world's best, IMHO. Of course you have to be sure your phone lines in your area support the 56 or you might get one but still only get 33 or so speed. However, its still worth getting the 56 unless you are in a very rural area because eventually all cities will have the support lines. I think!The above site will also tell you if your area has the support lines yet. Another great day for DELL Freeus P.S. you might have to shop around to get the price stated above.
