IMAO, $82.59/port is a rather small price to pay to eliminate the
tentacular mass of RS232 and power cables lurking behind my racks.

If you don't have an electrician on hand to make you a multiple-modem
power supply, you should also factor in your one-time cost for power
strips and the periodic cost associated with the electricity being
dissipated as heat on those cheesy modem power supplies.
