So much for his main objective, runninng a fast and reliable board.  With
the modem circus now entering its 4th or 5th month, I have to say that
Paul's is the most UNRELIABLE board I've called during that period, by far.

Pretty easy to see now why some sane people choose to pay a premium for
proven BBS-reliable modems, like the $1100 Microcom Deskporte Fast+ (which
is being rebadged by Banksia as its top model), or the $799 USR Courier.
