	Wrong?  I really did have a problem.  Really.  No kidding.

	I had to return all 26 of these Modunets.  I was lucky they gave me a
	refund.  How can you recommend something that is unreliable?  Time
	is much too valuable to waste on debugging a system.  What happens
	if you had to install 100s of these things, then spend days, trying to
	debug it and then finally have to tell your boss you have to throw 
	them all out because these things weren't working.  Now you tell him
	it's going to have to cost him an extra %60 of what you paid for and
	you hope dataspec will take them back and give you your money back.
	No thanks, do it right the first time.

>they are much cheaper. they're about 60% of the price of the faralon

	Have you check Mac Connections prices lately?  Phonenet plus $35 ea.
	and $21 ea. in a pack of 10.  MacWorld Sept 1989 issue.
