I am lucky, but I also have never paid more then $25(us) for one of
these modems with xjack (28.8 or 33.6)...
So for me the fact that it's an all in one arrangement outweighs the
potential replacement. I only use it infrequently when I on the road
and need to dial in, so that probably contributes to the longevity of
my cards.
Normans replacement figures seem alarmingly high to me though...
