I still have my Dual Standard one somewhere, was 16800 i think and upgraded the board in it a couple times to bring it up to 56k eventually. It was a beauty. I think it was like $800? An insane amount of money in hindsight, but worth every penny at the time.

Yep. That price is accurate. Was about the same cost as a 20meg hd at the time. I think that by the time 56k was a thing, I just bought one of their fugly, smaller-sized off-white models.
