By leaving off the credit line (original source), you're attempting to prove 
a point with a naturally biased, opinionated, slanted press release segment.
Many mdoems built around the Rockwell chipset are excelent devices but your 
constant, less-than-honest defensive manipulations do those products more 
harm than good.  Rockwell chipset modems would be far better served without 
your constant spin.
