These modems are very well made and worth the $ 5 - $ 15 they fetch at
hamfests.  If you know some kids who need modems for their computers,
and they understand the concept of manual dialing rather than Hayes-type
commands, it would be a nice gesture to buy the modems for them.

I assume that you're talking about the 212A modems, and not a 202 variety.
