  INTERTEC (a Michigan firm, address unknown) sells a Hayes compatible
  for $89. It can be purchased by getting a stack of BYTE Bix cards
  (aka 'Bingo' cards). I'vre had mine since Xmas and it does the job
  for me. It also comes with its own software.

  Inmac sells a Hayes to //c cable for $29.95 (#745-2). I buy Inmac 
  products and can say that their fit,form and function are of high
  quality.
