What is the story on the availability of a 2400-baud internal modem
for the Toshiba T1000.  Toshiba offers a 300/1200 modem for something
like $300.  Product R&D offers a 300/1200/2400 modem, fully Hayes AT
compatible, Bell, CCITT; with separate switch for power off to save
batteries in the laptop, ability to handle direct connect or acoustic
coupler, and auto-switching baud rates.  A pretty package, but they sell
it to individuals for $440 (although a local computer store said they
could sell it to me for $410).  Beyond the price, my second concern is that
this is a new product for Product R&D (first shipment leaves them March 15).
Since I don't know anything about them, I'm a little shaky on buying this...

So, does anyone know of a 2400-baud modem for the Toshiba T1000 other
than Product R&D?

Please try to mail rather than post; I'll be glad to summarize,
