Anyone interested? I received a "special limited offer for Computing Professionals" about a 2400 baud Hayes-compatible modem for $169.00, including shipping, hanling, a "guarantee of satisfaction", and a communications program (Quick Link) for the Macintosh. For $19.00 more, you can get a modem cable for your Mac. (However, our Campus Computer Store is able to get these cables for under $9.00! If you want one, shop around.) Want more info on the modem? It sports all eight status lamps (standard Hayes), is compact and light- weight (5 x 6 x 1.56", to fit many places larger modems can't), and has a monitor speaker with volume control, a second phone jack, an easily accessible on/off switch, (of course, an RS232/DB-25 computer jack), and a two-year warranty. Still interested?

Bates University of the Pacific For those who are thinking about buying the Zoom modem, which sounds like an OK deal at $169: A friend of mine purchased one of these at a local computer show for either $109 or $119 (no cable or software, but a cable should only be about $15 and Kermit is free). The dealer selling them had purchased bunches of the things and was running a special for the duration of the show. You too may be able to find a better price than $169 if you look. (By the way, his modem seems to work just fine). Wade Blomgren wade@sdacs.ucsd.edu
