It cost $304, and when my local Businessland had a special on Microcom ERA2 modems for $329, I sent the Qubue back. (The Qubie also played the radio over the speaker while dialing -- strange.) The Microcom works like a charm, and has a really spiffy terminal program which emulates VT100, VT52, and IBM 3101, as well as implementing Microcom's MNP protocol which is supported by Telenet among others for error-free terminal sessions. You can also set up very complex function keys to wait until a given time, then dial the phone, look for character strings, send and receive files with or without MNP error correction, and so forth. I like it. My only complaint is that the Microcom modem is very fat and wants to take up two slots in my XT. Works OK sandwiched next to the floppy controller, though. John Levine, ima!johnl
