Ah yes, that name is familiar (I think it's Multi-tech, BTW).

I think that Arthur Marsh in Oz_modems uses one (from memory), and if so,
he's quite happy with it.  Never seen one in the flesh though, but I also
believe that they are well over the $1k mark.  Far too rich for my tastes. 
Think I'll stick with my A$379 Courier instead (hi Paul).  :)
