I haven't seen them advertised, but I think street price on the Internal is
slightly under $600.  It's available on the USR sysop program for $399. 
The external (which I would recommend since the Internal doesn't supply
ring voltage to its POTS jack) is $50 more on the sysop program.

The Sportster ISDN 128k - it's a more conventional TA, like a Motorola
Bitsurfer - but it doesn;'t have the built-in analog capability of the
I-Modem.
