- I'm puzzled that a line of products from MacProducts USA,
- advertised in MacWorld magazine and seemingly competitively
- priced, are never mentioned here.
-
- The Magic range of modems/fax modems include the Magic VFX
- V.23bis, which is priced at $289 with "software".
-
- The spec is 14400 modem and fax, class 1&2 compat., group 2,3,4
- compat., V.42bis/V.32bis, MNP5, 2 year warranty, 30 day money
- back.
-
- The address is 608 West 22nd, Austin TX 78705. Tel. (512) 472
- 8881 and Fax (512) 499 0888. Numbers are also quoted for support
- and also in Singapore, Malaysia and Canada. The USA free line is
- 1 800 622 8721.
-
- Is it that they are just rebadged versions of something else, or
- is it only a send fax, or what?
-
- There are also the VFX FaxModem at $189 (V.42bis), the VX V.32
- Modem "9600bps modem with compression to 38400bps, hardware
- V.32/V.42bis & MNP5" at $199 and the VX V.32bis "14400bps modem
- with compression to 57600bps" etc, at $259.
