Re: Failed 7855-10 modem

Damn straight - $1000 for the modem (and min 2 hours @ $250/hr to
install) is ridiculous. I found a supplier on the web, bought 2
replacements at $100 each and had them overnighted.  EDI was back up 5
minutes after the box got there; no lost business, slight
inconvenience.

I consider it a cheap lesson; now I have a backup.  I am lucky it was a
Monday, which is a slow order day for us.

That said, I appreciate the offer!  

I am also still wondering if the EDI could have been setup to run over
the internal ECS modem somehow . . .

Take care!
