I've got a pulp catalog here called "Computer Bargain Line",
and it has an ad in it for a $160 "modem" that sends up
to 9600 baud over 120V power lines.  The company is CRC Electronics.
Anyone have any comments?  I'd never buy one because I wouldn't trust
plugging anything else into the same circuit, but I'm curious.

Also, I've almost decided to bite the bullet and shell out the $400
and buy my 2400 baud modem from Hayes, since people have reported
brain-damage (unspecified) in my previous favorite, the Packard-Bell.
Any comments there?
