Phew! that's good.  What about some support then??? 
1. software for the xep-80.  perhaps express-80 should be bundled
	to get people to buy the atari modem.  besides, I want to know
	I can get software for it before I go buy it.
2. get express-80 developed. or maybe kermit-80
3. lower prices.  I saw 800xl prices jump from $90 to $150 just to
	'keep up' with the XEGS.
