They can be easily found for under $20 used or even new on Ebay (this is as of about a year ago). I've been using a USR 5686-02 (note that it only supports v90 and can't be upgraded to v92. 5686-03 and later either support v92 out of the box or can be flashed to do so). -- Celejar ssuds.sourceforge.net - Home of Ssuds and Ssudg, a Simple Sudoku Solver and Generator -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
