re:  "Lately I have seen some mail order ads for the us robotics 2400 bps
      modem for under 200 bucks.  In fact one was for 179."

This becoming another "urban myth".  The $179 figure (which may have been in
error) was for the PC-backplane plug-in version and was a one-time only
offer.  The best price I have seen on the external USR2400 is about $350.  I
saw this after having paid $376 for mine.
