First, this kind of blatent advertising belongs in comp.newprod, not here. Second, you're V.32 modem prices are nothing special. Many of the established companies will sell me as many of their V.32 modems as I want for the same amount as your discounted price. -Ron

No, it belongs in biz.comp.hardware, _the_ place for hardware-oriented commercial advertisements. If your site doesn't get that, then talk to the policy people about why. If you can get it but don't have it, see any one of the some 700 sites that DO have it for a feed, or as a last resort, call us and we'll feed you (you poll us, we feed it). >Second, you're V.32 modem prices are nothing special.

Lastly, V.32 is "strange" enough that I doubt we'd pay for a V.32 modem without being given the ability to check it out first, especially from a brand new company that I've never heard of (and isn't even on the net :-). -- Karl Denninger (karl@ddsw1.MCS.COM, <well-connected>!ddsw1!karl) Public Access Data Line: [+1 312 566-8911], Voice: [+1 312 566-8910] Macro Computer Solutions, Inc.
