Come on Trev. Yes, it was certainly first carefully documented
with my Supra calling the Spirit, BUT it was THEN extensively
seen with a wide variety of OTHER modems downloading from a Spirit,
even in the US, with Wolfgang faking away on that quite a bit there.

Dave Hatch even saw it between a pair of Spirits, tho certainly not
at the same occurrence frequency seen with other modems from a Spirit.

And this story about the Supra has a massive problem explaining why you dont
see the mindless retrain straight after the connect with the USR Sportster V34.

And now that its clear that its become clear that the mindless retrain
behaviour of the Courier goes away if V32terbo is disabled on the Courier,
and the Spirit Thunder ALSO had to have V32terbo disabled to ensure
reliable incoming V32bis connects from NOT JUST A SUPRA, this is just
the usual attempt to point the finger and blame it on the other party.

That clearly is unsustainable when the double send was
seen between a pair of Spirits by a reliable observer.
