Regardless of the technology, I know people that have them, and they
ROCK the hell out of any modem I have seen.  If nothing else the lack of
sudden hangups and other problems with phonelines; but the bandwith
is quite good.  I even know someone that's running a mud on one, although
it's pretty small (~30 players online at peak times).

Sigh - we aren't getting them till August.  Man...one thing I do miss
about univeristy life was that kick-ass net connection.
