Interesting side note. Boca announced today that it has shipped its shotgun style modem for 112K. But the killer on this is not only does it cost $279 street, but one has to have two phone lines and two ISP accounts. That just seems to me to be too complex and too expensive on a matainence basis for the average joe.user to swollow in this commoditized, price sensitive arena. I think they'd be better off without it. I doubt they sell many because of the double/double of phone line and ISP accounts.

To >reach the accelerated speeds, end users will need two phone lines and >Internet service provider (ISP) accounts.
