What a crock of shit.  I've just posted the 15 different problems.
If by "doesn't behave as a Rockwell" you mean "doesn't connect to
a wide variety of modems", then I see your point.

DD> Some of his downlinks use pre-historic modems too which seemed to disagree 
DD> with the Courier.

Oh dear.  The real world let you down again, eh?

DD> I use a Courier here (with a Sportster as a backup).  I have no complaints 
DD> regarding their performance at all.

Which just goes to show how uncomprehensive your testing really
is.  BFN.  Paul.
