Well, the Wave wasn't especially cheap - it was in the same price-bracket 
as Netcom's Roadsters at the time as I recall.

Certainly I will avoid those around $100, but the Wave here is 
well-described as rubbish current Waves still have similar prices to 
Netcom and USR roadsters.

I've no doubt that Couriers and Smartmodems will do an excellent job, but 
then I'm spending $400 or so; I'd rather not.
