V34, add $25 for V34+ (plus $10 freight if you're not local).  



Or simply buy the new external Spirit Cobra for $399 (some places are
offering it for $299 with a $100 tradein on any faxmodem) and gain voice as
well as V34+.

The distributor's "corporate" discount price is ~$500 according
to their latest price list (actually listed at $475 incl. tax but they've
miscalculated the sales tax :-).

Ouch! My first and only V32bis modem - Spirit II - cost me just $650.  



My original TR-100 PEP Trailblazer on the other hand cost a cool $2,100,
followed by a Netcomm M5 V32 modem at $1,000.
