Hello Paul,

 JT> Well there is that issue with v34 negotiation and the spirit vipers.  But
 JT> that's just the fucked up spirits.

 PE> How did you ascertain that?  Did you do what most USR owners do, and
 PE> just put your fingers in your ears and yell nyah nyah nyah? 

 Sorry, could you repeat that?  I had my fingers in my ears at the time. :-)

 PE> Personally I'd be more convinced by a line trace, but I've not seen
 PE> USR do that (ie they're not better than anyone else). 

 The banksia had a similar problem, although if nothing else, the support for
USR is superior to banksia.  As it turns out, ALL my other modem woes have
since disapeared.

 PE> P.S. Interested in swapping it for a shitbox car?
 
 JT> The one you can tune up without a mulitmeter or timing light?  :-)

 PE> Yep!  BFN.  Paul.

 Paul, seriously, you can't.
