- Gack! So when I posted this I thought to myself, maybe they have it
- in stock now. I had written a letter to one place (name withheld to
- protect the guilty) asking that they receive my order and ship it as
- soon as it is in stock. That was three weeks ago. So I called today,
- and suddenly they have it in stock. (I ordered it and it should
- arrive tomorrow.) But did anybody there dust off my letter and call
- me to see if I would still like the modem? Nooooh. A customer with
- money in hand, asking to give the money to them, and they cannot
- manage to respond to my letter.
-
- But anyway, in about 1.5 weeks I will be able to post a report on the
- functionality of the PM14400FX PKT modem.
-
- Cost? $364 for overnight delivery, charged to my Visa.
