[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] USR 9600 HST modems

umcharl3@ccu.umanitoba.ca (Mike Charlton) (08/09/90)

Hi all.  I'm thinking about buying a US Robotics 9600 baud HST modem in
the near future.  I seem to remember that US Robotics used to have a deal
whereby BBS sysops (of which I am one) could purchase a modem for a fairly
low price.  Does anyone know if they are still doing this and how I can
find out more about it?
                  Thanks for all the help,
                        Mike

Call 1-800-DIAL-USR.  Be prepared to set your autodialer, as
this voice line is almost always busy.

The sysop HST used to be 'round $460.  I've heard that it's
dropped in price to 'round $400, but that's only RUMOR.

Brand new mail-order, an HST will cost you $575.
I've a friend with a spair one who's willing to let it go for $500.
It's in perfect condition and only a few months old.  Gotta love
1650 CPS.
