From article <31300003@inmet>, by spiros@inmet:
-> 
-> This note is to express disgust at a certain modem manufacturer. 
-> Prometheus Products, Inc. of Tigard, Oregon to be precise.
-> 
-> I have owned a 2400G modem from them for 2 years, during which the modem
-> has seen light use (a few hours a week) on a PC compatible.
-> 
-> Apart from the initial disgust of buying the modem at $245 and see it drop 
-> to $150 a few weeks later, the modem itself has been returned for repair 
-> for a total of FOUR times in these 2 years (all under warranty).
-> 
-> Am I REALLY unfortunate or modems DO break down like that? The modem 
-> has a power transformer inside the box (i.e. no external adaptor) and that
-> makes it bulky and possibly prone to overheating.

My Prometheus Promodem 1200 recently died after about 5 years of flawless,
light use.  I bought it in the days when it retailed for $525 but paid $375
mail-order.

I'm pleased with what the Promodem 1200 did and plan to replace it with
another Prometheus.
