 BG> Nope.  That model Dynalink is based on the USR Sportster, which does

 You mean you have to solder a new one in?



 BG> It has also been suggested that S12=0 fixes the problem, but I'm not

 BG> a damn nice modem.



 BG> I spoke with Dynalink just yesterday, and they did actually

 BG> acknowledge the problem, presumably because the buggy model has since

 BG> been replaced by a fully functional version (one of which I'm about to

 BG> evaluate). 

 As I said, I've never experienced this bug. Any ideas when the fully

 functional version came out or how to recognise it? One hopes that

 Dynalink will do the righty and allow owners of the buggy model to

 upgrade at no/ minimal cost.



 Cheers...Steve
