I ordered this last millenium :-).  It looks like the promotional deal I got in
under is gone.  But, you get free activation (the $70 charge).  I paid a total
of $120, and you'd have to pay $240.  So, it isn't *quite* as bad as it might
be.

US West's current promotions are here:

You'll note that there are no promotions out on the Cisco 675 external modem
like you want.  Sorry.
