Yeah, yeah, I'm sure that if I got a Courier, I could plug it in,
and I wouldn't even have 16 problems in the first month.

RB> In my view a Netcomm is more proprietry than a USR (you can only get

V.34 is not proprietary.

RB> And didn't they also have a price tag of around $1400 at one stage.

I don't know.  Mind telling me what relevance that is?

PE>> I am mostly interested in incoming calls, so the fact that I may not

PE>> the most serious problem in that respect.  Total failure is simply
PE>> not acceptible.

RB>  And your netcomm not connecting with EC on an incoming call is also
RB>   unacceptable that way, now that you mention it.

Which is why I listed it as a fault, if you had bothered to read
my fault list.

RB> I have been told to keep it down a lot in Aust_Modems,

RB> It is just hard to be humble when you own a USR.

It's even harder to get USR to fix the 15 reported bugs too.
BFN.  Paul.
