    Well, for all those people who were flaming Telebit for having an
"expensive" upgrade to v32bis with their T1600's, seems like Hayes has
approximately the same pricing with their upgrade.
   Actually I think $250~ for an upgrade to double the speed isn't too
bad. What I had hoped for both Hayes and Telebit was that they would offer
everyone who had bought a v32 only modem in the last x months a free upgrade
to v32bis.
   Of course, this doesn't affect me, a poor T2500 owner. Come on Telebit!
