I got mine at Sears on a huge Clearance table (lots of calculator, computer
and camera stuff) in a beat-up carton with numerous price stickers, starting
at $189, marked down through the ages to $6.00 (bright pink sticker).
At that price, I don't mind having a spare modem around, even if it is a bit
dumb.
