We have about a zillion MultiTech modems, and have nothing but good things to
say about them.  The modems work great, and the service and technical 
support are fantastic.  (They even fixed one that had been melted by lightning.
Cost -- $50!)  They've offered several ROM upgrades which added new features
(such as MNP level 5) for very reasonable prices.  I give 'em a big thumbs-up!

No connection except as a (very) satisfied customer.
