	While I'm not sure I would rave about the MT224E, I guess it's
about as good as any modem we've had and better than many.  The best price
I've seen is from Advanced Data Products in Gaithersburg, MD 800-732-7654.
The price sheet I have on my desk is 6 months old and says the MT-224EH
(desk-top) is $409 but I remember seeing a more recent flyer from them
saying it's about $350.  Call them and ask for their dealer price list;
they seem to be willing to give dealer prices to anybody who buys more than
one of an item.  The 224ER (rack mount) is the same price, which is
annoying because it's just the card from the EH without the plastic case
and power supply.  I suggest getting the EH and saving the case and supply
in case you want them later.  Note: I'm not 100% sure the EH and ER use the
same phone connection; better check first.  The ER uses a DB-9 to RJ-11
cord, the EH may use an regular RJ-11 to RJ-11.
