I get a great deal of line noise from my refrigirator, but I guess I can't do much about it. (I did have the same problems with all my other modems, so I am not complaining) Overall, I am pleased with my purchase. I also wanted to ask a question. Is it possible (or advisable) to run two terminal programs at the same time with two modems under multifinder? David Rho Disclaimer: You have your opinion, and I have mine.
