Uunet never had the best deal. Several times I've posted info about a
company named Andataco that was cheaper than uunet. They are in San Diego.
I don't have all the info here, but my rolo shows:
Joshua Wells
(805)523-8980
He runs an Orange county office.
I've also bought Annex terminal servers from them.

Actually, Josh told me he runs it out of a spare bedroom at home. His price on the Telebit T1600 was $550, on allocation (2-3 weeks delay) His price on the Telebit T2500 was $870, shipment right away. I hate to say it, but DDMI has a better price on the T1600, and I think on the T2500 as well. If the guy wasn't so inconsiderate on the net..... Michael Nolan nolan@helios.unl.edu

Andataco also has an 800 number if you want to save on phone bills :-).
The number is 800-334-9191. I've bought T2500 modems from both UUNET and
Andataco. Both places are ok. Andataco is a little cheaper as I recall.

We are also a TB distributor. We offer a special SYSOP deal which
does include the T2500. We aren't really supposed to advertise on
the net, so I better shut up now.
Info on Telebit modems can be had from site 'tygra' via anonymous
UUCP: 1-313-343-0800 (USR HST) or 1-313-343-2926 (T2500 PEP). Login
as nuucp, no password. Get the files /cat/pub/uucp/Telebit-Prices and
/cat/pub/uucp/Sysop-Deal. Get the file /cat/pub/filelist for a list of
other files available.

The 'tygra' stalks again... I've always wondered whether any of these 'sysop' deals extend to USENET newsfeed sites. Probably not, since one of the conditions is generally a plug for the vendor's modems in the motd, and there isn't any motd for a UUCP connection, or at least nobody to read it. :-)

But the "special" isn't really so special, compared to the regular prices they show. For further info you might fax them at 313-343-2928 or call them voice at 800-736-5984. Please note: I am in no way connected with Michigan and haven't even bought anything from them; but I do appreciate their timely and informative faxed replies. --Dave McLane <davidg%aegis.or.jp@kyoto-u.ac.jp>

Not too surprising, since most Manufacturer's "SYSOP" deals involve low/non-existant profit margins and direct sales which bypass distribution overhead. Any dealer/distributor can offer their own "SYSOP" deal, but unless they are getting special price from the manufacturer, they can't cut too deep into their margin, and further have far less assurance that secondary sales as a result of their promotional pricing will end up in their pocket... -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing: domain: grr@cbmvax.commodore.com Commodore, Engineering Department phone: 215-431-9349 (only by moonlite)

Remember, "Michigan Network Systems" is really DDMI.
DDMI's management have a well-deserved black eye for their antisocial
net.behavior. Don't let the new name fool you.
Boycott DDMI/MNS.
