Stefan, I didn't mean to imply at all that price=quality. I've just had
good luck with that modem. Your experience with the Sportster is
certainly good news as those modems did have problems a while back. I
also had a Supra FaxModem that worked great also, but I don't know what
their stuff is like now. It's certainly a lot cheaper. The one I had
also had that neat feature of being able to recognize a fax carrier and
route the signal to the appropriate place. I would be interested in
knowing what other modems of recent vintage that people are using
successfully under Linux.
