     A word of caution to anyone considering the purchase of battery-powered
modems. Ensure that the product you are buying has a proven record of running
off batteries. We got burned by the power packs that came with some modems.
They only hold a charge for about 15 minutes. I'm talking about 4 units; not
one isolated bad battery! Now we are in the process of having to set up our
own powering for these units. Just a word to the wise...
