I've contacted USR and they told me about a plan where you must
trade in an existing non 28.8 modem and you will receive a check for
$50 towards the purchase of a USR modem.  Is this the plan you are
referring to?  If so, it doesn't seem like such a good deal to me.
If not, how did you approach USR about this plan?
