I don't like them either. I would have gladly spent more for a real
built-in modem. And built-in ethernet, for that matter.

Nonetheless, I'd like to get it to waken from hibernate.

Second Edition. The soon to be officially released collection of bug fixes
for win98. Plus "Internet Connection Sharing," allowing you to share your
internet connection with other machines.

I *guess* that should be comforting.

My experience too. I recently went through three supposedly identical
drives for my office desktop until I got one with an acceptable noise
level. Alas, that's harder for me to do here. I wonder if I could get it
replaced under warranty? Not that it's very loud, but sometimes it makes a
very annoying high pitched sound. At least it doesn't make a loud head
parking noise (or was it thermal re-calibration) like a Toshiba drive I had
a few years ago.
