You think thats supposed to be news do you ?

It is indeed. I just havent got around to it yet, I like a modem with lots of
status info during the call, particularly on the speed and error detail and
havent found one with what I consider to be particularly good on those details
yet. Got nothing to do with the cost justification for the speed at all.
