Glc,

Obviously you posted beacuse these are good, but what makes it that good as I will watch and see if they have some later. Usually compgeeks gets more shipments of merchandise they carry or at least that is what it seems like. I am looking for a good ISA modem so that is why I ask. TIA

The 2 best internal modems ever made are generally regarded as the Supra 2720 and the USR 5687. They are 100% hardware controlled, can be jumpered to a com port or plug and play, are compatible with any OS on the planet, and just plain PERFORM. On a clean phone line, you will get consistently better throughput with the 2720 than with any other internal modem. On lousy lines, the 5687 takes the nod here. Bottom line, the Supra Express is a top quality modem. When it comes to modems, PCI is NOT better and I'll argue this one till the cows come home.

Sounds good to me! I will keep an eye out for one as It seems compgeeks does this often with most merchandise, or at least now I am crossing my fingers. Thanks
