56k dial up modem?

shuki · Aug 14, 2003, 01:58 PM

my mom in laws 56k modem died (lightning she thinks..) I am very far from the dial up 56k market so wondered if anyone here can recommend a cheap one that is good? checked on US Robotics but seems they've gone downhill and creative seems to be lacking in the modem dept. as well.... any recommedations or donations

I ALWAYS put compaq modems in PC's i build. Never once have they failed me.

If its for XP a lot of cheap modems have driver issues, not the compaqs.

I have an AMR (that is the name of the slot, right?) modem you can have for the price of shipping.
