[NTLUG:Discuss] Call waiting modem..

[Chad Foreman]

Doh!  Sorry I was in a hurry and just saw it in passing...well i did pick
up the box and give the "box-reading" a gander, but paint me red and call
me a barn i can't remember the name of the company or model number. I know
it started with an "A" and was in a purple-ish box <-- yeah i know a lot
of help that is :)

i guess just jet on over a Best Buy and comb through their modem section
sorry!
