- Did st1r8@elroy.uh.edu really type:
- } is unreliable. The Dual Stanards cost too much and USR is getting
- } much too much money than their worth. If USR would sell the Dual
- } at a resonable price, they might sell a whole lot more! (They should
- } bring their list price for the Dual down to the sysop price, and the
- } sysop price half of what it is now).

- As a sysop who recently purchased the 16.8k DS, I'm happy with the
- price. $464 is more than a sysop ZyXEL, but then I get the best of
- both worlds - connectivity to the V.32bis world as well as to the
- thousands that own HSTs. If I had purchase the ZyXEL, I would have
- alienated many high speed HST callers, and I have more HST callers
- than V.32/V.32bis callers. In addition, many support boards for
- software are HST-only. This is changing, granted, but still a factor
- to the sysop for consideration.
