I just purchased a new box from the computer rack on macleod tr. at 50 ave. and had them install a new internal u.s. robotics voice fax modem at a cost of $85.00. I believe without the voice capability they are a lot cheaper. Give them a call @252-5777. Ask for Desmond, he runs a linux mandrake box.
