It has been suggested that some of the backbone sites of USENET
get the new Vadic 2400 baud modems to transfer news.  Cost appears
to be nearly $2000 each, and each site probably would need at least
two (1 for dialup and 1 for dialout).  Of course, if you got lots
of them, you could use them for dialing up from home as well.
Anybody have any opinions?  Is the cost too high for some backbone sites?
