Hi folks..apologies getting off topic a bit but really would like to hear everyone's opinion if there's particular modem that stands above and beyond the rest..sort of like say a Courier modem would for dial-up. If I go with Alltel's choice it'll be a Slipstream 5200 most likely..which hopefuly will be free..with a years contract of course..irreguardless of what they provide, seriously considering a backup(could use one RIGHT NOW)..Thank you all very much for your time.. Lee
