The Zipper is a relabeled Prometheous 2400G for $299. I notice alot of noise, and especially noticed when in mail a ~r appeared and caused an error, and couldn't help but make me think about whether I was really safe using it while doing sensitive commands. Of course I could have had a bad line and will further test it. Anyone else have anything to say about these suckers? The other thing is I'm using a normal 3 (or 4?) wire serial cable. Is there any reason to get any kind of special cable for the amiga? Are there any better modems around at a reasonable price that are more reliable? -- #include Dave Rasmussen c/o Computing Services Division @ U of WI - Milwaukee mmm Internet: dave@csd1.milw.wisc.edu Uucp: uwvax!uwmcsd1!dave {o,o} Csnet: dave%uwmcsd1@uwm Phone: +1 (414) 963-5133 \u/
