I have always thought that a modem was a modem. The no-name $10 modem was just as good as the $60 brand name one when it came right down to it (Providing they were of equal protocal like v.90, etc.)

Am I correct? I mean when my phone lines only permit 28.8k/sec, a "better" modem doesn't do crap?

What about the diff between PCI and ISA? I had to buy a new modem because I lost my ISA slots in an upgrade, so I got a Diamond SupraMax PCI because it was the cheapest one. What does PCI Actually do for the modem?
