There are some of us who are in the market for an Austel-approved
modem.  And I haven't seen anything cheaper than $440 for that.
So before you rubbish someone else's price, make sure you're
comparing apples with apples.  You may as well say "$440 is too
steep, I can get one for $35 (neglecting to mention that it is
a 1200 baud modem)".  BFN.  Paul.
