Mike,
    Which Magic modem did you buy? I got the 2400 v42-bis MNP5 modem and its
great (Rockwell modem chip set too). Considering that an equivalent Hayes
V-series modem is $439, the Magic modem at $199 was a steal.
                     Cheers

p.s. If you got a vanilla 2400...well I don't believe they work well without
some sort of error checking or a very very good chip set.
