 Highly confused about top-posting or not, about 3 years ago I was hunting
 for an internal modem, most shops in TCR didn't do non winmodem ones, and
 those that did wanted upwards of £70.

 Anyway I ended up at the place where Computer Heaven used to be, the
 bloke told me about a shop selling them for £24, they had about 50
 units, they were brand new Hayes Accura 33.6K ISA, I still have it.

 Conclusion, ebay or similar, the fairs and normal "rip-off" TCR shops...
 it is just a question of time and asking/looking.
