  Since there are always differing opinions on whose modems to buy,
I would like to know what constitutes a good modem vs a bad one.
I specifically exclude the vendor support and a specific set of
features, not because they are not important (they may be the *most*
important) but because these are sometimes difficult to establish
in the case of support and there is often little difference in the
features for the middle-market ones (The divergence is often very
significant at the high end). What I'm after is the issues of
quality: reliability (longevity) and dependibility (works consistantly
and correctly connecting to many other units).
