I don't know what business Genstar Rental Electronics is in but if I had to
venture a guess I would guess that I could go there to acquire a password modem
on either a purchase or a rental basis. The article has the appearance of a
thinly disguised commercial.

My company too has many things for sale but when I post them to the net they
are clearly commercial messages. When I have superior products for sale I much
prefer that the posting be done by my customers. They usually rave about them
more than I would anyway, almost to the point of bad taste. When my friends (my
company?) get overstocked on a 'good' deal it usually wasn't a brilliant move
nor one that I would brag about.
