Re: Re[2]: 28.8 PCMCIA modem recommendation

[eronald@cnam.fr (Edmund Ronald)]

All modems contain some line-matching and analogic circuitry, and
some signal-processing DSP- based code. Good digital to analog and
analog to digital converters cost money, as does the stuff you need to
make the thing immune to outside noise, and power-supply noise. 
People who gladly pay for better audio speaker cables and connectors
should understand that the non-digital bits and pieces matter
and cost *a lot* to do properly.
