I bought a 300/1200 baud modem from a company called Business Computer
Network in Carlsbad, CA (area code 619) about three months ago for $211,
including shipping, sales tax, and cable.  It is an external modem (I already
had two serial ports in my PC, and didn't want to stuff another card
in), and appears to be a private label Anchor Automation Volksmodem 1200.
The first one BCN shipped me didn't work reliably, but they were very
good about taking it back, and the second one has worked fine.  It supports
the most important parts of the Hayes command set.
