Nope, not one, and the only blemish I saw calling you at
all is the same problem with the STD pips being recognised
as busy that clearly cant possibly be your modem.

Yeah, the overwhelming evidence that its a USR problem is the fact that
it vanished with a single ROM change in Bills V34+ Sportster. Interesting
that it was a considerable problem even his V32bis Sportster on his rather

watch how some people cant quite get their 'brain' around the evidence.
