True... if you want to be picky... that's what I said :)  (And thus also 
isn't strictly true since I _have_ run across winmodems.....).  However, 
within the context of the discussion, let's amend my statement to: I have 
personally yet to run across an external modem suitable for use with an 
Apple IIGS that doesn't use the Hayes AT command set.
