I call mine "not a modem" (Score 1)

When referring to my winmodem, I call it the "not a modem", cause it's not a modem. It just a phone jack with a little bit of logic built in. My not a modem is a 56k and when I try to do something like play q3test, it totally craps out and disconnects. My "regular" 33.6 works just fine when I play quake. Go fig. All you people out there with suck-ass ping times, get a real modem.
