- They had a "trade-in" and a "trade-up" program.
- The trade-in provide a new modem of same type HST->HSTnew,
- DUAL->DUALnew, etc., for $299 plus your old modem.
- The trade-up allowed you to take any old 9600 modem from
- HST (courier, V.32) and send it in with $349 and receive back
- their newest DUAL-with-FAX model.
-
- They also had V.32 upgrade boards for the newer 14.4 HST's and
- FAX upgrades for newer DUALS.
-
- I think it's all over now, but call their customer service
- (good luck getting through) at 800-982-5151.
-
- I sent two original Courier's in and received Duals. - It took
- a month longer than they promised, they sent them COD even though
- it was prepaid, and it took weeks of calls and faxes to straighten
- it out - I was one totally frustrated cat <g>.
