A quick note from my own experiences.  When I upgraded to a 28.8 modem, 
I bought a Cardinal and the damn thing would NOT install correctly.  I 
worked with it for hours trying to get certain programs to recognize it 
and it was just not happening even though I was positive the modem was 
setup correctly.  In frustration, I returned the Cardinal and bought a 
USR Sportster 28.8.  Took my five minutes to install and haven't ever 
had a problem...
