Excellent.  They use dynamic line impedance matching which seems to do a great
job of eliminating even the worst line noise.  When I was checking out modems,
they had the best noise elimination I saw.  PEP was better in really, really
horrible situations, but the CompuCom did a better job of getting full speed
transmissions noise-free.  I ended up with a Dual Standard since line noise
isn't usually a problem here and I wanted HST/v.32bis, but I can afford it.
