SA>  Better for the Rockwell to go to the STANDARD and get BETTER connects like
SA> USR's :). Plus, for the Couriers, ANY Bugs are only a FREE Flashrom, 

Only if they actually fix them, and with the usual "It's the
other guy's fault", that's not a great deal of help really.
Even IF the other guy is at fault, as a USR owner I want to 
see a workaround in my own modem.  Otherwise it is simply
incompatible with real-world modems, and as a sysop, that is
not what I am looking for.

SA> Modems have to live with Bugs...

The Netcomm M34F has a flashrom.  Which you can download from the
Netcomm BBS for free.  BFN.  Paul.
