Re: [Plug] Where to find a jumpered modem (fwd)
|
For what it's worth.
I went and bought an Atlas Peripherals 33.6 modem about 18mths ago from
Best Buy. dirt cheap and they also came out with a 56k version. I don't
see them locally anymore - but -
The manual claimed to work with all os's - including Linux (yeh, the
manual mentioned Linux). It was fully jumpered, even with a jumper to set
for PNP or not. and used cirrus chipset and ATT drivers (I lost my driver
disk a long time ago)..
Now, the real kicker is this - I connect to worldnet via a 56k connection.
Most of the time I get connected above 31k -- Sometimes - and I sure its
due to compression settings, I get a reported conection of 115200!!!! - and
believe me - my connection SINGS when this is reported.
If you see them on the shelf, they're well worth buying. The last I saw,
the 56k boards were selling at $39 with 20 rebate (although Atlas never
were responsive about sending the rebates - I never got my $20 rebate on my
33.6). Ah well, still worth the money.
