- Consumers buy tons of computer related hardware (and software) that
- cost the same or less than the average price of a modem. However, the
- modem companies seem to offer the lowest level of support. There is no
- reason that the modem industry should be different. Consumers deserve
- good support. If Dell,IBM,Gateway 2000, or even Microsoft delivered
- the same level of support that USR (the maker of my modem) provides,
- they would be NOT be where they are now.
