I don't know about it, but I have to report my satisfaction with the Zoom
Modem and HWH Microsystems (I don't believe it, a mac dealer I like enough
to plug and he's not even related :-).  The modem is $119, comes with all the
cables ready so you can just plug it into your mac, and has a seven!?!?!?!
year warrantee.  I guess they don't expect it to break, although it will
become obsolete.  I checked a bit on Zoom, they aren't newcomers.  The 
guy at HWH is quite knowledgable and friendly without trying to sell you
something, he spent 20 minutes giving me advice about buying a mac XL.
Oh, and the modem comes with software and bulletin board subscription
demos.
