BG> Tell me then Paul, how many flash-ROM upgrades have USR released since you 
BG> bought your NetComm modem?  Is that sand getting in your eyes yet?

PE> Or more to the point, how many of the bugs I reported in the USR got 
PE> fixed since I bought the Netcomm. 

BG> Given that none of my own USRs has ever displayed any of the so-called bugs 
BG> that you reckon you found, I very much doubt that USR have issued a 
BG> flash-ROM which rectifies operator error.

You saw the ATZ bug.  David Drummond saw the Supra problem.  Just
because you don't know how to test a modem to save your life (given
your CHH results), I'm not surprised.  Anyhow, I am more interested
in how a modem manufacturer fixes MY bugs rather than bugs that I
never see, so all your flash-ROMs are useless to me.

PE> No thanks, $200 and the same sand ain't any consolation prize.

Good point.

BG> You could have had an unapproved Courier for well under A$500, had you not 
BG> been suffering from terminal paranoia.  :)

And an approved one for $675 from Sydney.  No thanks.
