- Have you considered that US Robotics is probably the largest seller of
- modems at retail? They may have 75% of the market.

- I used to work in retail, and we sold US Robotics modems as fast as we
- could get them in the door. I no longer work in the retail area, but
- every store I go to seems to be constantly low on, or out of stock of the
- USR products due to fast sales of the product.
