  Ordinarily I would agree...but Digex bought up literally hundreds of
them back in 1994/1995, to the point where NONE of the vendors had
them...we drove the 3/60 bare-board price up from $99.00 to nearly
$600.  Sure they made zillions of them...and most of them are sitting
in a warehouse a few miles from here, except for the dozen or so that
are likely still in production over there.
