  Where??? where???  They are quickly going the way of the dinosaur here
in Canada, and few and far between on the internet as well!!! Many
pretend to be DOS compatible, then suddenly, it's a YES, "but" only WITH
Windows...  As there are few small computer shops anymore, the big
stores are catering only to the WInblows crowd, and don't even ASK about
"other" options at Future Schlock!!!  Yes, I have seen a few REAL ones
from the big names, but 300 bux and up for a 56k modem??   GImme a
break!! -Dean
