FF>> Also, just rang their Melbourne distributor, and they quoted me
 FF>> $239, (They actually quoted $209, as they are having a sale until

 TP> Yes, I was wrong. They've sent all mail to my old address (I was sort

And you thought all that stuff was for free, right? :-)

 TP> One more lie, nothing new in computer industry. I'd like to find out

A lot :-)

 TP> Well, I've used Dynalink 1414VQE for more than a year on two

Yuck! The most annoying tone detection failure would have to be this.

 FF>> Still, it's very cheap for a 33.6k modem .....

 TP> Even for v42bis-less modem it is cheap. I hope they come up with a

I'll believe it when I see it.

 TP> PS. Just called their tech support. Tech support guy wasn't there and
 TP> after much waiting Greg talked to me. I just talked like ordinary

I love doing this. Fun fun fun :-)

 TP> My modem stops responding for 20-40 seconds at the time - his answer:
 TP> never heard about it,

That was the same response I received.

 TP> Asked him if there are any firmware upgrades planned - no, there is
 TP> no need for it! Then I've asked a question about BitCom 4 Windows and
 TP> got more bullshit.

:-)

 TP> BTW, anyone knows how to edit init string in BitCom?

 TP> I'm only wondering who needs this sort of bullshit? Does nothing
 TP> good for users and nothing good for Dynalink.

But they have the cheapest 33.6k modem out, even cheaper than most 28.8k
modems, it's "going out the door very quickly", (dealer quote),
so they probably don't really care all that much.
