                          Price Comparasons
                          =================

No Prices have been stated above this Section, because prices often
change, and I want to keep all the prices together so they could be
quickly updated as needed. There are 3 types of prices I will cover.
First is The Retail price, second is the Sysop price, which is only
available if you run a BBS.

Many Modem Manufactures offer BBS Sysop special prices directly, at
about 50% off the retail price. First the BBS has to be verified, so
the modem manufacture knows that is is a real BBS that has been running
for at least 6 Months, and has a minimum number of users, ect. Usually
the Manufacturer will call the BBS once, or twice a few week apart to
be sure. Verification usually take 3-4 weeks. Then the Sysop has to
agree to use the Modem on the BBS for some set amount of time.
