- Dont be tricked into believing 1900 bux is the ceiling for European modem
- prices. We have a dealer here (the Telebit Distributor) which sells
- Trailblazers with fairly old firmware due to local mods for PTT approval,
- and also some hardware changes for a, ugh, interesting phone system.
-
- These have a list price of roughly ATS 42.000.- which at current exchange
- rate is over $3800.-
