The CompuCom modem is $169 for the Sysop Deal, from what i undersatnd.
They have a pretty large following in the WWIVnet (of which I am a
sysop).  In fact, one of our servers (@1021 in St. Louis) uses a
CompuCom.  They use a proprietary 9600 protocol, so a CompuCom will only
do high speeds with another CompuCom.  I am not sure that they will do
38.4.  All CompuCom boards are listed as 19.2 in the WWIvnet data files.
