Hasn't 3COM already taken a charge for the inventory problems with old modems? Also, I have a Palm Pilot and the modem. Great products.

<it seems everywhere I go I see unsold USRX modems> Chris, I looked at it differently. If a retail store stocks a product to the ceiling, it indicates that the store is confident in selling the stuff. Shelving space is extremely precious and the more you can get the better. It's how much sell-through that counts, not how much on the shelves. I guess one can stand by the checkout counter and count how many usrx modems they sell each day. Mang

Christopher, I read your post and decided that it was time to buy a new external modem. I called Comp USA and a couple of other stores and they quoted me $129 for a 33.6 K external. So jump on it if you can get that price. It's not everywhere. Regards David
