- From what I've seen, the price difference is closer to $200 assuming your

- If you decide you do need v.terbo and v.34plus, I would spend the extra to
- get ATT Paradyne Comspheres. They discovered v.34plus and v.terbo. We
- replaced our Couriers with their big brother, the 3820plus, and are much
- happier for it. The internet Shopping Network is carrying them for $425.

- Well, good luck with whatever you do.
