Fine, that purportedly relates to YOUR experience with NetComms, which
happens to total just ONE fucking M34F, whilst I just happened to be
commenting on ALL NetComms in general above, including the
equally-deficient M34F.

Are you seriously suggesting that their prior models didn't suffer from
major problems?  Like the M11F's known-buggy 04BC V.FC chipset, or ALL the
Series 3 models which incorporated V.42bis over MNP4, making them useless
with EVERY modem other than another piece-of-shit Series 3?  Or their
previously nasty habit of charging $400 for a ROM (i.e. board) upgrade? 
Etc., etc., etc.

You clearly don't know what you're talking about, preferring to selectively
edit my comments instead, so as rational discussion is quite obviously
beyond your tiny brain's capabilities, I've deleted the rest of your crap,
and won't be wasting my time responding to it.

Regards, Bill
