[NCLUG] Wanted: DMT DSL Modem. Cisco 678?

[Joel Nevison]

Hey Bob, I have a 678 you can have.  I've never had it
working. (I got it from somebody on the list a while
back)  I've got a 675 you can have too, if you want
it, Docs and other stuff galore, you can have the
whole lot.  I know you from playing go way back.
