I did already, didnt make it clear enough that all
the tests I have posted have been with that, flashed
that within an hour or two of starting to use the modem.

Pretty good there. My only real reservation is the ATZ
behaviour we have already discussed which I think is too
much of a gotcha for no good reason, but other than that...

I've also never been that keen on USRs propensity to use DIP switches
long after everyone else has binned them, mainly coz its too easy for that
to bite droids too. Cant see the point in anything more than a concealed
'dumb modem' jumper for those who really must have one of those, and are
capable of reconfiguring it with some inconvenience if they know enough
to know they need one of those for a particular application.

My only other quibble is that it does put a bit more hash on the
voice calls than is desirable. I always use a modem for dialing
voice calls and have the phone in parallel with the modem between
the modem and wall socket for various reasons. The hiss is noticeable,
and its also audible on the modem speaker when dialing data calls
too. Not unusably loud, just a nuisance level thing.

Still recon we need Taiwan to clone the hardware and provide
just useable code, so we can just flash USR code in after buying.
That really would blow a FUCKING great hole in the market |-)
