The firmware (specifically training/retraining) can affect how line noise is handled. Perhaps more importantly, quality of constructions and components can affect how much noise gets to the chipset in the first place. I'd generally avoid ultra-cheap modems unless I knew I was on a clean local loop and making local calls, or I was on such a tight budget that I'd otherwise have to go with a slower modem. dale@iam.com, http://www.iam.com Intangible Assets Manufacturing
