[net.micro] Question about cheap modems

tim@hpfcla.UUCP (10/10/85)

Does  anyone  have any  information  on the  'cheap'  1200  baud  modems
advertised  in BYTE or the  company  that sells them?  The ad is on page
473 of the  Sept.  BYTE (and is also in the Oct.  issue).  It shows as a
103/212 modem and claims Hayes  Compatability (the Sept issue says Hayes
Compatable  and the Oct issue  says 99% Hayes  Compatable).  The  prices
they show are $179  assembled,  $140 kit  (assembled PC board - 5 minute
assembly  time), and $120 kit  (solder  it  yourself).  The  company  is
Concord Technology out of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

It seems like a good deal, but my mother  always had a saying about good
deals.
