RB>> >> Is Rods Supra a VFC only or a Supra Express.



 RB>> Express? > RPI, no?



 IS> Fair comment.  You might expand on the problems with RPI a bit?



This was actually Hamish's comment let him explain it



 RB>> I agree about the Express, I recently saw John Ninedeck advertising

 RB>> Supra's for $240 or so and just had to ring and ask. Sure Enough, He was

 RB>> flogging the express.

 RB>> I would not waste the fax to order them.



 RB>> I don't believe in taking people for a ride to make a profit.

This is not intended to"denigrate" Jonathan.

It is not his fault that companies make RPI modems.

I am saying that I think manufacturers are taking advantage of people

going for a cheaper priced modem by not giving them features that they expect

at the level of todays technology.

People mostly buy on price these days and find when they get home that they

 got exactly what they payed for or maybe a little less, but certainly

never more. I think that this is ripping people off or at least taking

 advantage of them.



 



 IS> This, however, is dangerously close to 'denigration of competitors or

 IS> I've called Jonathan out in the echo about his non-declaration of 

 IS> commercial

 IS> interest, earlier netmail not having done the trick.  I'd appreciate it 

 IS> if
