I too have a number of the Packard Bells, both the PB2400 Plus and the
IS/EM2400 and am generally pleased with them. One caution though.
These modems seem to be very sensitive about heat so a few don'ts:

	DON'T stack them together
	DON'T put them on top of your monitor

In short, keep them cool and well ventilated and they will serve you well.
