Yup, looked at them and they do sound good.  Actually I meant to send 
this off to the linmodem crowd but my fingers have been very fat. Right 
now I'm just trying to get some modem to work with what we have until I 
can get the nod to purchase something better.  This one is now almost 
working, it talks to wvdial but just isn't yet going off hook.
