There was a profusion of modems at the show including two new models.
The renamed Miracle Technology (0473-50304) was showing an improved version of its WS2000 world standard modem (issue 52) that can operate under software control.
The modem complete with connecting cables will cost you £184.
Miracle is still waiting for BABT approval, expected 'any day now'. So it still illegal to connect the WS2000 to the phone system.
Also waiting for approval is OEL, the company that started the low-cost modem boom last year and whose products also appear with Prism, Oric and Watford Electronics labels on them.
Its latest model is a multi-rate modem that operates at 300 and 1200 baud.
It also has an auto-answer capability as standard.
OEL was showing the modem but not taking orders. When it does go on sale, it will cost £175.
