To All Interested Parties,

I am selling a Motorola Bit Surfr Pro ISDN Modem.  The modem was
purchased from DataComm Warehouse for $400.00 one year ago but has never
been used at any point.  This modem is Motorola's top-of-the-line ISDN
accessor and can be used to connect your computer to an ISDN digital
phone line.  The modem is capable of speeds up to 128,000 bps (more than
four times faster than a traditional analog modem).  Motorola has long
been recognized as the best manufacturer of ISDN modems and the modem
comes with Motorola's five year warranty.

This particular model can be used with a PC or Macintosh and is
completely compatible with Windows 95, Windows 3.1, Windows NT, and the
Mac OS.  If you have a Macintosh, I will include the appropriate
hardware handshaking high density cable to connect the BitSurfr to your
computer (a $20 value from MacWarehouse) for free.

DataComm is now selling this modem for $359.95.  You can view DataComm's
description and specification sheet at the following URL:

I am holding an open "electronic auction" over the next month to find a
buyer for the modem.  The lowest bid accepted will be $175.  I am
anticipating the winning bid to be significantly larger, however.  In
order to bid, submit your dollar amount, name, and e-mail address, to
me, Ethan Kurzweil, via electronic mail at: ethan@highway1.com

Do not submit the bid to any newsgroups, only to my personal e-mail
address.  You must be prepared to commit to purchase when submitting
your bid.

Every Thursday, starting this Thursday, April 3, I will publish the
highest bid to the above list of newsgroups and to anyone who has
submitted a bid.  If you would like to receive this update to your
personal e-mail address, please send me an e-mail to this effect and I
will send you a copy of all updates.  Also, if you have any questions
about the modem being auctioned, or the auction process itself, please
submit this question to me via e-mail and I will get back to you
shortly.

I will continue updating the public on the highest bid received until
Thursday, April 24.  That date is the close of the public phase of the
auction.  On that date, I will submit the highest bid to anyone who has
submitted a bid via personal e-mail and invite them to match this bid. 
Assuming no-one matches the bid at this point, the auction will end and
I will arrange to ship the modem to the person with the highest bid.

Thanks for your attention and let's start the bids now!  Don't hesitate
to write with any questions.

Sincerely Yours,

Ethan Kurzweil
