Direct from the company (quantity one) the 2400 bps external was on the order of $95. You have to set the &D3 parameter to get it to work with DTR, but once done seems to work well. I have not tried it as a BBS modem but I have used it to call UNIX systems. Neither have I used it for long-distance connections very much. But at $95 (external) or $79 (internal) you can afford to take a little quality hit. They come with about $15 worth of credit on Compuserve and free signups for Genie, too. Note that these prices are direct from the company--I don't have the phone number, but they're out of California--and they have a $200 minimum order. If anyone's interested I'm going to get that number for my father, so send me mail.
