Thanks. Had a quick search on Dabs, just to get a gauge on prices, and the US Robotics one is £75 - rather more than I thought I would have to spend. Are the £35 odd quid ones not worth bothering with?
Not IME. The USR ones will give you better performance, and will last you forever. Also, I've had bad experiences with cheap external modems - some of them really are Windows-only. Boggle. So be careful what you buy if you're going for a cheap one.
