Your workaround stopped working?

BV> BTW, what the hell are you attempting to do ?

Make use of my dedicated data line so that people can send me faxes.

BV> Why the heck don't you stop screwing everyone around with crap gear

I was warned multiple times not to buy a Banksia.  Since then I have
ALSO heard that they have problems connecting to Vipers with adaptive
answer on.

PE> Also BTW, does this mean the USR Courier is violating the V34 spec,
PE> since it has no problem calling the Viper?

BV> Dunno. Since you have such a high opinion of USR's, I wouldn't' be
BV> surprised :)

I need to put the Netcomm back before I know whether there is
something fishy about the Spirit.  I'll just leave AA on for
another day (forgot to fax myself), and then switch it off
again.  BFN.  Paul.
