Who buys Apple Data Modems?  What I mean is, the Apple Data Modem
lists at Dartmouth College education discount price for $330, so I
assume that dealer prices must be at least that much if not more...

I have a Zoom 2400 baud modem that I bought 3 1/2 years ago for about
$125 that works as well as I might expect a modem to work.  I notice
that these Zoom modems now go for around $70.  Why is the Apple
modem so much more expensive?  What makes it $260 better?

Finally, who pays $330 or more for a 2400 baud modem?  anyone?

thanks,
