I got a USR V.32 a couple of weeks ago and I must admit it's the best modem
I've EVER tested (and that covers quite a lot of them, although not Microcom
MNP9 stuff).

I've had no problems with setup, connectivity, line noise or anything. This
is close to perfect. Well, it doesn't cook your morning coffee...
I've found no bugs, odd behaviour or anything what usually is found in every
modem sooner or later. I must admit I'm pretty astonished.

I don't understand the hassle about Multitech modems at all. Well, they do
have call back, but that's only a small plus compared to the overall
performance, "ease" of use and so on.
