BG> if the Dynalinks have solved their service tone detect problems,

RS> The V34 external has on an AXE exchange anyway.

BG> Interesting, and it sounds like you've actually seen one in the flesh.

Yes, *BUT* I am talking about a V34, *NOT* a V34+

BG> They're quite obviously not Rockwells, and given that
BG> Tom Przeor's new internal modem is actually a Sportster
BG> rebadged as a Texas Instruments (with its ID string in ROM
BG> changed), I wonder if Dynalink have now gone the same route?

No idea on the V34+, the V34 is certainly Rockwell.

RS> Quite a spunky looking little modem too. Unlike those damned
RS> Sportsters, still recon they look like a fucking answering machine |-)

BG> Could be worse though. One new V.34 modem (Compucom,
BG> I think) looks remarkably like a half-squashed grapefruit.

Yeah, some completely bizarre stuff around. Corse the external
Courier with its wheels and steering wheel is a tad weird too |-)

BG> Funnily enough, I never thought the external Sportie to be anything
BG> other than sleek and functional, with its relatively large top-front
BG> mounted power switch, and the volume knob recessed, but still easily
BG> adjustable, and I've always preferred the ability to change the audio
BG> level externally, rather than relying on a fucked AT command to do so
BG> (a bit hard to do during an on-line session too).

Cant say I have ever felt the need, just adjust it to taste with
the other setup detail and leave it like that forever. Corse if
the room noise varys lots, you many need to at times I guess.
