But butting it would be an option!
   
 How about a 2400 baud modem?  Modem chips are almost jellybean parts these
days.  The 300 baud modem in the 102 takes up gobs of space on the printed
circuit board--a 2400 baud modem would only take 1/3 the space.  Same for the
power supply.  The 102 was an innovator in switching power supplys, but now
single chips are available that do the same job better in 1/4 the real estate.
