Who ever said there was no such thing as a rabid USR zealot?

For once, I would like to see you admit that Rockwell do something better.
Every Rockwell modem made since 1993 has CallerID, so I don't know how you
can be proud over the fact your USR only needs a daughterboard upgrade for
the same. Yes, you have your DSP solution allowing flash ROM upgrades to
higher speeds, but Rockwell users accept that and pay CONSIDERABLY LESS for
their modem as a result.

With some of the cheaper brands, you could almost buy a 28.8 now and a 33.6
later for the same price as one USR Courier, AND end up with two modems in
the process.

Regards,
Hamish
