I am wondering if anyone can help me with this.

I know someone who want to sell an Apple Personal Modem (the wall based unit)
which runs at either 300 or 1200 baud.

I don't know much about modems but I would like to purchase one and I am
considering buying his.  He said he purchased it three years ago and has 
never used it more than twice (I checked it seems to be in excellent
condition, atleast as far as I can tell).  

What I would like to know is what something like this is worth?  I have been
told that $100 dollars should be the limit I should pay.  Does this sound
reasonable?  Also, does anyone have any suggestions as to how I should
check thing out to make sure it really is in excellent condition?  

This would be my first modem so I really have no idea what to look for or
expect.  I would plan on using ASCII Express MouseTalk with this modem
if I bought it, and I will also need to purchase an different cable to
connect it to my Apple IIgs (he had an Apple IIc). 

I would really appreciate any and all advice regarding this modem or the
software package I will be using.

Thanx in advance for any assistance.
