[aclug-L] Re: Modem Blaster DI5601 compatability question...

["Jeffrey L. Hansen" <jhansen@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

That's interesting you'd say that.  I bought one (I was originally going to
bite the bullet and get my obligatory USR external when I found the
ModemBlaster external for $79 and thought I'd give it a try) and it's been good
for me.  No installation hassles and it's always running fine.  I haven't done
any speed comparisons, but I don't notice any difference compared to my other
USR.  I'm not sure what problems Southwind has had, but the reliability of mine
has been great.
