Would you bet $240 on that?  I can't afford to.  What's your
definition of "still"?  My department's purchase of one (1)
Everex modem, and the problems we had with it, is what sparked
this discussion.  Since the discussion started, another department
bought five (5) more, for a total of six (6), and all of them
were the pre-MNP (i.e., scrap) version.

So there were still pre-MNP Everex modems in stock somewhere these
last few weeks.  Tell you what, Joseph:  Will you recompense me for
every pre-MNP Everex that is delivered to me if I make a quantity
buy?  I thought not.

Mind you, I'm grateful to your company for the help resolving this
problem, but your parent company needs to change policy before we
can consider this modem again.
