[ILUG] real modems -v- linmodems -v- winmodems.

[Niall Sheridan]

Any time I've needed a real modem, I've always gone with a multitech
(http://www.multitech.com/). They a bit pricey, (it's been a couple of
years since I last needed a modem for anything) but their kit is solid
and reliable and works.
