As the saying goes, a bargain at half the price!
With stand alone fax machines available for as little as $750 (US) and
prices declining monthly, this strikes me as absurd. For $900 plus, I
could get a MSDOS fax card, a cheapo XT clone, and tie this into my
Xenix box for about the same price, plus gaining a [limited] backup
machine. Is this price based on "cost" or the assumption that Xenix
software/hardware goes to "business" users who can/will pay more than
"amateur" MSDOS users?
