- Don't they all? Certainly NEC does, and I suspect that all the major
- modem manufacturers do. The newcomers and toy modem manufacturers may
- not. Chances are that GSA pricing, which is typically also granted to
- legitimate educational institutions, will be lower than the sysop deals
- anyway (legally, it can't be any higher).
-
- Incidentally, NEC has a beautiful new v.32bis modem with uucp spoofing.
- And the list price is a paltry $ 995 (or $ 1295 with infrared remote).
- They have rack options, and their modems are very reliable.
