- to let you in on a sleeper of a deal: the US Robotics Sportster line of
- modems is their consumer line, and their Sportster 14.4 Faxmodem sells for
- under $350 on the street (pick up Computer Shopper). It's v.32bis, of course,
- and comes from a company with some years of experience in high speed modems.

- know, it's not your boxes that are the problem, it's your lack of a
- sufficient number of boxes. Go out and buy something.
