Modem price

Hi there

Just wondering any of u notic the price of modem are quite low these day?

two of my local free magazines' ad that sell their 56K modem for 19.99$ CND for win98 and AOpen 56K v.90 43$ CND
And the modem card are very tin tiny too.
What's deal?

Any comments?

products such hardware for you r computer are priced based on the quality of the product. i had i 30 win modem, the 125 data fax modem uses less system resorces and allows my system to process the information faster. if you have no modem then they're not bad. if you want to go faster........
