Actaully, for Value for money, AND the abitlity to have pin hole
configurations like Nokia M11's, take a look at the Asustek ADSL modem. I number
of people I know use them and swear by them, rather than at
them.
I have
an M11, but thats an expensive bit of equipment....that telecom
owns..hehehe.
I was
able to keep my modem as I switched from Jetstream to Jetstart, and coiuld keep
on renting...yay.
But
take alook at the Asustek....arounf the $500 mark I think.

Someone working with me also tried this modem and
had the same problem. He eventually gave it back and purchased a Nokia
instead, which works fine (couldn't get any help from where he bought
it). I personally had similar problems, not actually getting it to work at all
under Win98 and eventually settled for the 3Com OfficeConnect, which works but
is far too expensive and too complex to configure :(
Getting 3Com assistance (as far as I could ascertain) in NZ was impossible
(3Com 0800 was always engaged).
My advice, chuck the 3Com and get a Nokia (they
just seem to work when plugged in). On the other hand, if you get
the 3Com to work, please let us know.

Subject: [DUG-OFFTOPIC]: 3Com ADSL
modem with Win2K
Hi all
Not sure if this is too offtopic or
not.
Is anyone aware of any issues with a 3Com
HomeConnect Dual Link ADSL modem running on Win2K?
The modem drops the connection 30 sec after
last use, even though the timeout is set to 1 hour.
This does not happen when running NT4 on the
same machine.
