Ok, finally I (and 5 friends of mine) made the decision to buy
Supra 2400 Baud modems. It seems to be the best quality for a
reasonable price. Because the modems here in Germany are much more
expensive, a friend of mine is gonna buy them in USA.
So US-Amiga folks please give me the adresses of good dealers, who
have cheap prices (I heard the modem is about $139) and a quick
order service.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks a lot!

Doesn't the Bundespost object to use of such modems? I thought they
had a monopoly on equipment connected to phone lines. Or has that
changed?

It probably has changed. Now modems and accoustic-couplers can be used
if they have been tested by the Fernmeldetechnischen Zentralamt. If
they work right on the German phone lines they get a ZZF-Number and you
can legally use them on the phone net. Because this is a relativ new
law and the Bundespost is working relativ slow - many modems haven't been
tested yet.
Networking in the USA is really much easier...
