I have heard lots of good things about it. If I had been buying new I
would have picked the 3COM over the Motorola Mariner. The 3COM card has
much better support in various operating systems. I own 5 or 6 3COM
network cards and they are nice, well supported units.
I own one other Motorola modem [a Power v.34] and it has died once
already after about 2.5 years of use. Motorola has a habit of releasing
modems with Flash ROMs in them. Then if you are lucky they may use it for
a bug fix later, but they will never add any increased functionality. For
$159 for my Mariner I can live with that.. =)
