It is.  But I still have it (somewhere).

I think we all have our "vintage regrets" for one thing or another.

I had picked up a Microcom 2400 modem with MNP-5.  I used it for years until
upgrading it to a 9600 BPS modem.  I sold the 2400 modem to someone, who sold
it to someone, etc.  Last I had heard, it was on its 6th owner, still going
strong and had gotten many, many people on the BBSs and, later, on the
Internet.

My hope is that it's enjoying a cushy retirement in someone's vintage hardware
collection.
