        In the early days of the list, it seems the AT&T modem was a very
big item (lots of people had it, lots were happy with it).  Later on, lots
of people reported good things about the Megahertz modem too.

        I have a Megahertz XJ2288 that I have been very happy with and would
highly recommend (specifically because, thanks to the X-Jack, you don't need
a funny little special cable to hook up to your phone line).  However, I
can't imagine you're being unhappy with the AT&T.

        Basically, get whichever one you want--though I own the Megahertz, I
hold them in equal esteem (except for the fact of the XJack, which to me is
very important and why I got it).
