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
