Saving for a Zyxel and get 16800 :) Lots of good memories for the Elite 2864ID (ISDN) and U-1496E. I had a project ~15 years ago with several thousand FAX Clients, and interestingly we had problems with every hardware card or modem we used except the (even then quite old) U-1496E which worked without flaw, whatever customer send data.

As soon as you saved and bought, they announced 56k! Fun times. :p Talking of modems, a place I worked around '90 had racks full of modems for customer dial-in. What never occurred to me until I saw it was each one needed a phone line - half the back wall was covered with phone points! Some years later a project was trying to do caller ID to computer. Simple idea, ridiculous number of issues. We found one modem that actually talked UK CLI of the dozens that claimed to. UK Cable spoke US CLI.
