I just hooked up to it yesterday and I'm really happy with it. I did get an
ethernet card and installed it. Seems things are suppose to be faster. I
checked with this web site: http://bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/ 680.8
kilobits per second that's much faster than my dial up and it should get
faster when the modem burns in. I use Linux so setup was fairly easy and I
didn't have to install any software. I'm just wondering if I answered the
questions right during the setup. But everything is working fine so I guess
I did.
