well said, scyth. IMO some of our peers are being a little hard on modem users. A point which may not be generally realised is that in some areas on this planet, there is just no alternative to
modem, except possibly satellite (which, I'm given to understand, is a troublesome alternative at best, let alone expensive). A friend of mine has been trying for months to get cable or adsl, but none of the ISPs can offer these services, and this in a quite sizeable (but not capital) city. I guess patience is a worthy virtue!
