I purchased both a Newcom modem and sound card in the past. It seems to me they are a "low end" company. Atlas products sold by Best Buy are also made by Newcom; at least the ones I have investigated have been. I wholeheartedly agree with the poster regarding Newcom or Atlas rebates. After meticulously filling out rebate forms, I am still waiting, and have given up on Newcom honoring its rebates. After doing some Internet checking, I have formed the opinion this is a pattern with this company. PCBUILD mailing list is brought to you by: The NOSPIN Group http://nospin.com
