Wanted to let you know that Lightning Communications declared bank-
ruptcy on September 8th.  I am one of the casualties as I bought one
of their 14.4 fax/modems on a sysop deal for $240 and it has since
failed on me.  I had seen an article in both Computer Shopper and in
Boardwatch Magazine along with a favorable write-up in Boardwatch
which prompted me to choose Lightning Comm for my 10th node line.
I contacted Boardwatch and they mentioned that LC also stuck them for
advertising fees.  Thought it might be an idea for a story in one of
your successive issues.  Take care and best of luck with I/O!

Dear Jim,

     Time and time again I hear of rip offs such as yours.  I suggest
     to anyone who deals with mail order to read the BUYER'S BEWARE
     in the Computer Shopper Magazine.  I personally suggest that when you
     see an GREAT! Bargain, that you look to the company and how long
     its been around.  These fly by night operations are out there and
     only YOU lose.  There is something to say about paying a little more
     for a name brand or going to a local computer store.
     Best to you Jim....good luck.
                                           Michael Gray - Publisher
