RS> Coz you are a zealot who cant bring yourself to admit there is
RS> the slightest deficiency in anything that USR has ever done Bill |-)

BG> Only problem with that comment is that I don't consider the USR's ATZ 
BG> behaviour to be a deficiency, only a quirk about which I'm very well aware.

Very well aware long after you bought your modem.  Anyway, a deficiency
IS a quirk which can cause problems.

RS> AND its not as if starting to do the ATZ the way everyone else
RS> does now would break anything ANYWAY, if people keep mindlessly
RS> AT&Wing after every port speed change, it will STILL work.

BG> And if used as a dial-up modem only, it will NEVER bite the user.

And if you only use the modem as a frisbee, it will NEVER bit the
user either.  So?  You can't just write of DEFICIENCIES just because
a lot of people won't see it.  Doesn't make it go away.  No more
than the failure of the Netcomm to connect to the SE under certain
circumstances is not to be considered a deficiency because most people
don't dial Maestro SE's.

RS> Zealotry Bill.

Zealotry, Bill.

RS> Yeah, bit tempted to buy a Courier and do it myself,
RS> tell the Taiwanese I want them to mass produce the
RS> clone, and actually set them up to steal it |-)

BG> Pity that the code happens to be USR's intellectual property, isn't it?

RS> I dont give a damn, neither do you Bill, you are just shitty that anyone
RS> dares to mention the slightest wart in a USR modem. Mindless zealotry Bill.

BG> What are you on about here?  The USR's code is indeed copyrighted, so you 
BG> can't just start mass-producing it without stealing it.  Not that I 
BG> personally give a stuff anyway.

Mass-produce the hardware, not the software.  That was well
explained, several times, try to keep up.  BFN.  Paul.
