- I just ordered the Eagle external modem thru Prodigy. It sells for $199 and it
- comes with v32bis. I have not received it yet, but was wondering if anyone
- else has this modem and can compare it to other ones that are available. I was
- browsing thru a catalog and noticed that most of the 9600 V32bis modems are
- well over $250 for internals, and was wondering if the $199 price compromises
- other features.

- Please respond to me at the home computer address, as the VAX will be out of
- service during the winter break.
