I've been using a Packard-Bell 2400 modem for some time. For the price
($120 on sale at "Service Merchandise") it seems to work well. I get some
garbage at times, but don't know if it's the modem's fault or what.
It has all the features and commands and leds.
I'd call it a "good" modem, and I'm curious as to what makes a modem "great",
and whether there is that much of a performance difference between modems.
