BG> Yep, and I'd also be amongst the first to admit it, Rod.

Like hell you would, you have been attacking me in USR_Modems
when I dared to suggest that the Sportster should have a flashrom
and that USR is having a massive brain fart by not including one |-)

BG> Back when I bought the Sportster for $300 second-hand though, Couriers
BG> were costing around the $1000 mark, and there was just no fucking way
BG> I'd ever pay that much for a modem, no matter how good it was.

Thats a completely separate issue to whether USR should have a flashrom
in the Sportster tho. Its fucked that they dont. Dinosaur technology.

BG> You do realise that I could have almost bought
BG> three fucking Rockwells for that price, don't you?

Also completely irrelevant to whether the Sportster should have a flashrom too.

AND I notice that that OTHER one you just cant bring yourself
to admit USR has fucked up on comprehensively, the port speed
used after an ATZ command, has just fanged ATLEAST three MORE people
in even just the latest bundle of messages from USR_Modems too |-)
