I would disagree. At least it's good as a backup for ADSL.  56k is
$20/month, ADSL is at least 3 times that. For browsing occasionally and
sending a few emails ADSL is simply stupid, and that's what my friend
will be doing.

Also, 56k is very reliable. ADSL is not. Read the adsl list.

Yes, but see above.

The available ISA slots (1?) may fill up too fast...


But coming back to the real issue, can anyone suggest any retailers of
PCI modems?

(Thanks to Philip Charles for suggesting one in Dunedin)
