Hi there Terry,

TC-> Oh really? I always thought that they were just Netcomm's in a
TC-> diffrent case.

Previously they were.  But because NetComm couldn't get enough Rockwell
chipsets for their own products, they decided to keep most of the chips for
themselves and badge the Motorola product......  notice how their
advertising doesn't say Australian made anymore?  Just take a look at the
modems, they are identical

TC-> Motorola modems aren't the best of modems as well, by that I mean how
TC-> it can  ct to v34 but not Vfc.

Thats right.  Motorola chips don't have anythign to do with V.FC. As for
the modems themselves, the Motorola products don't connect too well to
Rockwell V.34 products on very bad phone lines, but seem to connect quite
well to each other on the same quality lines..... interesting

TC-> Also, with the Roadsters, I have read (from the various echos) and
TC-> heard that they are a bit of problem. But luckily, I have the M34F
(pre roadster)
TC-> which
TC-> is a good modem.

Yeah, I've also seen a lot of strange problems with the Roadster product.
Especially the very first batches....... oh well,  suppose they will
resolve it sometime

Nick
