    DSL and cable are not offered in my area. I want to purchase a reliable dial-up modem that works well for gaming. I see there are soft modems and hardware modems. What would I do better with, and does one brand perform better than other? Thanks.:confused:

    Well first let me just say that no Dialup modem is good for gaming because they are so slow. You'd be better off with a hardware modem as the modem does all the work and not the CPU like with Softmodems, saving precious CPU cycles.
    Bascially, a modem is a modem, but i prefer D-Link over the others.
