I am very disappointed in you, netters. As the original poster, I will let you in on a great deal. Egghead software has a Christmas sale going on right now. They are selling INTEL 14.4 FAX modems for $150. However, they were worried about shortages, so they special ordered the USR 14.4 FAX external modems to fill the gap, even though they are normally more expensive. Thus, if you act now, you can still get these modems for just under $150 at Egghead software. Hurry! Hmmm, strange that no one was able to beat my price of $189 each.

I insisted on returning it, and it turns out something in the modem was burned out. It is _still_ flaky, though, and sometimes I have to turn it off and on again before it will work. John
