from what I undersatnd the $169 figure is only for sysops.  NOt sure
what the "end user" price is.

They have a decent population in the WWIVnet - a really rough estimate
would be that about 10-20% of the high speed modems in WWIVnet are
CompuComs, with the remainder being USR HST's and DS's (a few V.32's
floating around).  Reaction so far has been pretty good.
