My supervisor and I both have Diamond SupraSonic II's at home, and the
MultiLink worked like a shot with 'em. I do get an occasional disconnect
more than I used to, even with the latest firmware, but it's not normally a
problem (once in a day or two of being on a LOT). With Diamond's $50
rebate, if you look, you can pick one up for $60-75 too.

The only modem I've had real problems with for no good reason, actually, was
with a customer using a Sportster 56k in MultiLink. Connecting singly,
either modem worked great. Connect them together, some modems and web pages
worked fine, but some of his programs just wouldn't work with it. In my
mind, more likely a network problem than a modem problem per se, but that's
the only real ML problem I've run into. (Admittedly, we don't have a lot of
people clamoring for it yet, so it's a limited field, but....)
