I would add two brand names and one class of modems: Virtually ANY
PCI modem and 99.99% of Lucent-chipset modems and most recent-vintage
USR modems. Both of these tend to be Win/HSP modems.

As for Seagate...just FYI, my primary hard drive is a Seagate IDE
(Actually a relabled Conner <G>) but it's only an 850 meg. The other
hard drive in my system is a full-height 5.25" Seagate 9.5 Gig (8.5
after formatting) SCSI drive. I assume your admonition against
Seagate was for their IDE hard drives? :-)
