Dear Bill,

Saw you reply to this -

 =>RD> Diamond modems are just your usual Taiwanese piece's
of crap. They
 => are said
 =>RD> to be made here in Oz, but when you actually see
one, it doesn't
 => even say
 =>RD> Diamond anywhere on it ;) Anyhow, what I am saying
is, DO NOT BUY
 => ONE.

Your reply was -

 => Not the most objective nor informative report I've ever seen. You're
 => big on rhetoric, but pretty short on valid reasons. Care to
 => elaborate ?

Well you are correct. The Diamond group has about a dozen AUSTEL permitted
¨modems.  None are made in AUSTRALIA.  Some use the Rockwell chips some use
¨the AT&T.  My testing has shown almost contant 28.8 connects with a
few 26.4

Perhaps the earlier non-Austel approved Diamond Pump modems were not up to
¨the standard of the AUSTEL approved ones. But almost all non-austel modems
¨have "problems" even if only with the "Tones".

Cheers,

John (The Diamond Group)
