Well, at AppleFest I met th president of Epic Technologies, makes of the
worlds only 2400 baud internal modem.  Supposed to be 100% hayes compate,
down to the registes and all that, plus lowercase and something else.

At <$200 ( I got a flyer in the mail -- like $185 or so) for the internal,
and ~$200 for the external, it may be my next modem . . .

But:  I want someone to check it out first, so:  Go buy it and review it
here! :-)
