Your comment on Lucent hit the mark, it would be worth gambling a little on them as they have the best internal 56K modem chipset on the market (6% CPU overhead on a pentium 225 MMX (overclocked)). While the world is going ADSL there is a lot of room in the 56K market. PCs for Kids uses the netcomm (lucent chipset) modem exclusively for its systems (pentium 90 16MB RAM). I have connected tonight at 52000 Kbps and last night it was 53333Kbps using a lucent chipset internal moden (netcomm). The installation is a breeze and of the 401K it would be worth investing 30K in lucent (my opinion). Lucent has a solid product IMHO.

I have no idea what the 401K's are but I take it to be thousands(people with).

Seen the Aussie dollar lately (groan) bloody Howard.
