No, I saw the way ATZ works on USRs, as opposed to how it works on
Rockwells etc.  At the risk of repeating myself, it's not a bug if that's
the way the modem has been designed.

PE> David Drummond saw the Supra problem. 

Did he though?  I don't remember whether he did or not now, but once again,
at the risk of repeating myself, considering the fact that this has only
ever been documented as happening with ONE specific Supra (Rod's), you'll
forgive me if I don't rush out and sell all of my USR shares.

Is that the pungent odour of sour grapes that I can smell ?
