Reguarding the exorbatant price for the upgrade of the TB+, I do think the
$795 is VERY unfair, especially since I can go get the U.S.R. at Dealer cost.
I don't seem to understand why Telebit charges soooooooo much for their modems
in a market where, by far, they're the highest priced modem that I know of at
that speed.   Rather obviously, almost twice that of the USR!  Personally, I
just happen to like Telebit, but if this kind of thing keeps up, I'll move to
USR and leave the TB behind.  Rather interesting.  How much does somebody want
to bet that TB waits till April 1 to release the updates...  Anyone who bought
the modem in 88 will be out of their 90 day warranty period.  Gee, my modem
doesn't work.  I'm seeing gar{{{bage on {_) my screen.  Maybe the {ele*^&it is
going ba%.
