What do you think is the best external 56K modem in the market ?
———-
The best external 56K modems on the market are the 3Com/US Robotics Courier and the Zoom/Hayes Optima series, but they’re extremely pricey. The 3Com/US Robotics Sportsters and the Zoom/Hayes Accuras are nearly as good, cost about half as much, and are much easier to find. I don’t even look at other brands of modems; I stick with the big two (and give the edge to US Robotics).
