I'm investigating various "SYSOP MODEM DEALS" around. So far I've found INTEL, GVC, US ROBOTICS (NATURLICH!), COMPUCOM SPEEDMODEM, SHARP. The best sysop pricing on a V.32 (US$) seems to be GVC at $379. They say List is $699 on the modem, and the best mail order price I found was $499 in ComputerShopper. The HSTs (for just a plain Usr HST 14.4k/external) are $449 (mail order 549, list 995) in the latest memo I saw, although I heard USR dropped prices... Has anyone heard anything? -- ,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,., _' WARREN -- COMPUTER SCIENCE, 2ND YEAR '_ , POSTMA -- UNIVERSITY OF WESTERN ONTARIO , '`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'

Has anyone heard anything? I called USR's BBS a few days ago to check out the new prices. They are pretty good. The Dual Standard HST is down to $499 (from $699) and the HST 14.4 is $399. I can't remember what the V.32 was, but it was it that range. With the DS at $499, I might just be putting in an order here soon. Related question: Now that V.32bis has been approved, does anyone know if USR's current implementation complies with the new standard? -- Guy W.
