The modem [i like] is a maestro and is about $400 aus, 9600/2400 baud etc. But, a hard drive. . . . . just how hard is it to set these things up? can I use any of the HD's on the market or do I need a *controler*??- just what is a controler and what does it do? Erm, is the maestro a good buy? [the DEALER says it is . . . . . . . ] katani.
