Well I got a Cardinal 2400 from CT back a ways, and its always worked great
for me on my GS... (Im using it now :-) I paid a little more, but it was
the difference between that and the Hayes that the Mac err, Apple dealer
was trying to sell me at 2x the price... He said it was "Clunky" and
"Clumsy." I have yet to figgure out what he means, as my CT2400 blows
away some other 2400s I've seen. You should look at a 9600, as they have
dropped quite a bit, and 2400 may soon head the way of the 1200s and
300s (GASP!)! It was only 5 years ago I was using a 300, and it seemed
like *everyone* had 300s. Only the lucky ones got 1200s... :-)
