About a month ago I purchased a Practical Periphials 2400SA modem.  I didn't
have problems calling systems with it, but people calling me with MNP modems
often couldn't connect.  I decided that either I should shell out the bucks
for a good MNP level 5 modem or else get a REALLY cheap one, so I returned it.

Now in the January issue of Computer Shopper there are 2400 baud external
modems advertised for as little as $125, $120 and $109.  Does anyone know
anything about these modems?  Are these the result of the "new chips sets"
or are they just crud?
