Finding a 56k modem

Well, today I went down to CompUSless and tried to find a modem which was v1.0
or higher. I'll tell you, it is impossible.

The only modem which lists it's modem code version is Hayes. The highest
version they had of Hayes was .519 as internal. They actually had a .52 modem
which was external (one of them, but tons of .519's). They even still sold
.11's which can't be flashed.

The only modem which I knew had an upgrade available to 1.0 was Supra. So I
bought one. When I brought it back and tried to flash it, I learned that the
Supra which was in stock has version .114, which is NOT flash upgradable.

So here is the problem. Not only do I need the 56k revisions, but I also need
the SKU #''s, product id's, or whatever distingushing marks which are on the
box which would indicate that, "yeah, this modem will work".

It would also be nice to have a list of distributers which have 56k modems
which we could buy for our customers that support the Livingston equipment.
