Another exception here.  I ordered their '1200 Baud Smart Duck' (1200
baud Hayes compat modem) on December 19th (back when it was $199 -- its
now $169...grrrr).  They said it would take about six weeks for
delivery, but I assumed even more because of the Christmas rush.  You
can imagine my surprise when it arrived on January 6th!  If that's what
you mean by lying about schedules, then let 'em lie!

The modem is solid, seems well built, and needless to say I have had
absolutely no trouble with it.  A good deal in all respects.  Now if
I could only get that $30 back.......
