The serial cards were dirt..  Maybe $30 apiece, though I think we can
almost assume they're free on the motherboard these days..  The TAs
were about $650 a pop, I think.  I'd need to check the invoice.

TAs prices are also going to fall through the floor in the next 6
months, I think.  There's just too much demand for them not to.  You
tell all those new ISDN customers "It's just a faster modem!  Hook it
to the same serial port!" and they're going to understand what you're
saying.  The only competing solutions will be all-in-one ISDN cards
with nice setup software.  Just like external and internal modems
compete today.. :)
