*MY* suggestion would be to see if you can find a
SupraExpress 56i (ISA) or a 3Com / USR Courier V-Everything
(ISA.) A lot would depend on what your current ISP is
using for dial-up equipment -- ie is it K56-Flex/V.90 or
X2/V.90? If the latter, go with the 3Com, if the former, go
with the Supra. BUT, make *sure* you're getting the ISA
version with the particular model number that's recommended
on the www.o2.net website (sorry, don't have it pulled up
or memorized...check the messages from yesterday <G>)
