Re: (PM) Whining on this list.

I have no problem with someone selling Livingston/Lucent equipment
on the list. In fact I bought a PM3 from someone on the list at a lot better
price than Livingston (at the time) sold it for or the local retail yokel
that
LE put me in touch with.

I'd kind of like to know what the going price is for new and used PM3's
every now an then.

A "portmaster-sales" list would be nice also.

Personally I ignore any whining.
