   The signalman modem you speak of is available for (the smallest I have seen
anyway) $319.  This is a full AUTO-DIAL/FULL duplex 212A modem (direct connect)
It also (If i remember correctly) derives power from the phone line, so is much
easier to use/locate since you don't need an a/c outlet. Anyway, we have
ordered 6 of them for work, and after talking with several sales reps and some
techinical folks, they all say the same thing, they are full hayes smartmodem
compatible.  Looks like a very good deal to me.  These modems are available from
JADE in LA for about $359 ($328 for 6 or more) but I found them for $319 from
IMAGE COMPUTER (619) 436-8317.  I guess once we get them I can say a bit more
about them, but I myself am going to buy one for me sometime next week.
