Anyone out there own a DSI v32bis modem? 
Computer Shopper/Discovery Electronics shows $845 for 14K.
bad idea?

Does anyone know of manufacturers who will upgrade 
their products to v32 without paying another $300,400?  Has Intel
given any idea the cost an upgrade for the 9600ex?  
Regarding previous complaints about PP's poor performance at 2400
baud, has anyone experienced similar trouble with other low cost 
9600 baud modems (intel esp.) ?

Anyone heard timelines for Telebit, Multitech having v32bis modems?  

somebody give the final word on the best way to spend < $1000 on a
modem. thanks
