Boy they weren't kidding when they said the built in 14.4 modem on the Duo 2300c was pure garbage. Requiring the computer to handle tasks that the modem should take care of was a bad idea. Speedometer tests I did showed performance in many cases cut nearly in half - just by being connected to the internet (no other programs running)!!! Incredible! Is there something I can replace this with? Do those 19.9 global village modems have the same problems? Does anybody know where I can still buy one (at any price)??
