                        Y O U R S !                         

                       THE BBS SYSOP


                                                   
           We think Bulletin Board System Operators
        everywhere will flip over our NEW PM14400FXSA
        V.32bis modem!

           We think you'll agree that it's the most
        impressive new modem of it's kind...a real
        breakthrough at a suggested retail price of $549
        for the stand-alone.

           But...you don't have to pay $549.  Or $499...
        Or even $399!

           If you'll tell you customers that your system
        uses our new modems when they log on, we'll sell
        you all the modems your system needs for just $250
        each for the stand-alone.

           Take a good look at the modem's features,
        specifications, and its lifetime warranty.
        Together with a price especially for Bulletin
        Board System Operators it all adds up to a
        spectacular value.

           The product is superior, the price is
        spectacular, and there's never been a better time
        to put new state-of-the-art technology to work for
        you!
