CP>> Quite likely.  The way I see it is.. The KTX will never work properly,

CP>> as it has all of the universe working against it. You see, nature

CP>> abhorrs a vacuum, and KTX's SUCK! :>



 PL> That's one opinion not necessarily shared. It's not possible that a 

 PL> Netcomm

 PL> could be at fault (Oh my, no!).



CP>> I've had the pleasure of calling two different KTX's so far {at}V32.  One

CP>> would retrain after no more than 5s connected. Constantly.  The other

CP>> just plain wouldn't connect unless the baudrate was locked down to



 PL> I ran my BBS on a KTX modem and it worked just fine. A friend down the 

 PL> road

 PL> uses the same KTX internal modem and he has no trouble connecting to 

 PL> anything

 PL> now that he has his phone line fixed.



 PL> ... and why in God's name would you call anything at V32? Not that any of 

 PL> my

 PL> users had trouble connecting at that speed.

CP>> relly good"



 PL> ... and then there are those who have nothing but bad stuff to say about 

 PL> lots

 PL> of things because they can't figure out how to make them work. For what 

 PL> it's

 PL> worth I don't have a real lot of faith in Netcomms.`



Why is that Pete, Can't YOU make THEM work!!!!
