The Wall Street Journal reports that Prodigy is going to come out with a
Digicom V.32bis modem for about $200 ($199 or some such).  It's supposed
to have fax capability and error compression, which I interpret to mean
that it has V.42bis, too.  It'd be surprising if it didn't.  There
aren't enough details in the message to tell exactly what it has.

I haven't heard a lot about Digicom, so they might be worth buying at
that price, or they might not.  But even if they're not very good, it's 
likely that the other modem manufacturers will have to drop prices to
keep up.  So I'd hold off buying a new modem for another 4-6 weeks to
see what happens.
