| US Robotics is advertising a deal allowing you trade in any manufacturer's
| high speed modem plus $545 for their new V.32BIS modem. 

  This has got to be one of the worst deals I've ever heard of if true.
$545 for a trade in????  I can buy a new V.32 modem for about that price
and still keep my old modem.  And I'm sure that V.32bis modems will also
soon be in that price range as soon as a couple more vendors announce
product.

  Sheese, if they want people to switch to their modems they're going to
have to do *A LOT* better than this!
