       The next time you turn around, all of our v-90 modems will be
obsoleted by ADSL!  Do yourself a favor, get the cable modem.We have them in
our area and I have spent many hours borrowing time on them as I cannot get
one at my home:-(  The Motorola unit seems to be VERY reliable, and even when
the "cable" is busy during peak hours, the speed is unbelieveable!! If you
have the opportunity, seize it!
