Does anyone have any input regarding the Mercury Modem marketed by
Computer Friends of Porland Oregon.  I am in the market for a modem
for my APC III and am on a relatively tight budget.  They claim their
Mercury Modem is 100% Hayes compatible ( @ $265 )however, that isn't
really important to me.  What is important is reliability and ability
to use said modem with uucp.

Anybody had any experience with Computer Friends, I find their name
dubious @ best!  They just seem to be another company out there trying
to make a buck.

Please mail and if there is enuff stuff to repost, I will.
