This is kind of hard to believe, but searching for that on www.pricewatch.com just now yields one result, from www.ictcompany.com, in Massachusetts. $21.00 and in stock. (Actually, that one link was for a slower speed model, not 56K, which likely explains its low price. But WTH, I just might pick one of them up to use as a fax modem. When I tossed out that internal, I lost the ability to send faxes over the phone line, and internet-based faxing has never worked.) ictcompany.com does have one 56k v.everything for $145. I've not been around modems for sometime, but Courier modems used to go for upwards of $500 years ago. I had a USR sportster internal model (paid at least $200), picked it up in 1995, it worked very nicely. But I have DSL, and my current motherboard has no ISA slots, so I tossed it out :(. > Laura -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
