Exactly... the 1670 is a wonderful modem.. it is very easy to use, needs no
cables of any sort, and is very easy to program as well... A hayes would
be better, as it can be connected to any computer, but the 1670 is
definately a fine modem, and at around $40 in Nova Scotia, it is a very
good deal...
