Lines: 22 Hi ! I am looking for a new 2400 baud modem (the one I had got blown during a severe thunderstorm). Anybody has any experience with ATI's 2400 etc. modem? At $239 list price (mirror II software included) it looks like a super deal. I will be using it to login into our VAX and Pyramid computers and other bulletin boards. Is paying $400+ price for a Hayes or other big name brand worth it ? Any suggestions on other modems are most welcome. Has anyone used the SEIKO CM-1430 monitor? The last issue of PC magazine has given it a good rating. I am currently using an NEC multisync II with a Paradise VGA+ card. I have had a Paradise VGA Professional card on backorder for 3 months now. When I get it, I would like to use it with the SEIKO monitor. It is only about $ 50-75 more than the NEC. But is it any better? Thanks in advance sunil ~~~~~
