I agree that there should be some better shake than a hundred bucks,
but make no mistake, this was not a "bug fix" -- it was a pretty big
deal from what i've heard.  Further, not everyone is using these things
for interactive use.  It remains to be seen what effect, if any, the
addition of a third packet size will have on SLIP performance (i'm
waiting for some 4.0's to check it out) fer instance.

You probably also think the USENET price of $700 was too high ...
