It comes with a modular phone jack in the standalone model, and is also available as a card. The Canadian office tells me that price in Canada (including duty and FST) is $2095. (That's Canadian dollars of course.) So the U.S. price has to be under $1500 - I have no idea what it actually is. *** It seems to me that this might be a worthwhile investment for machines which transmit a lot of news to each other long-distance. *** Of course, the 2400 baud will only work if you have an R2424 at the other end, but it would function as a 1200-baud until other sites upgraded. Rixon's head office is in Silver Spring, MD, (301) 622-2121. I have no connection with them. Dave Sherman -- {allegra,cornell,decvax,ihnp4,linus,utzoo}!utcsrgv!dave
