about "X2/V.90 backlog?":
 TR> This is neat.  Maybe when I get rich and famous, I'll be able to do
 TR> the same thing.  Of course, if I can buy and sell everything I want to,
 TR> it'll be computer equipment, guns, and amateur radio gear.  :-)
 WL> You're leaving out a few things -- houses (need a larger
 WL> computer room and ham shack, maybe even a basement shooting
 WL> range a la Tom Clancy), cellular phones (with cellular modems,
 WL> of course) cars (with heavy-duty electrical systems to power
 WL> cellular phone, notebook computer and ham rig for days at a
 WL> time), little goodies like that.
Oh, and a driver, too; can't see well enough to drive.  Or, maybe a
white-cane actuator welded to the front bumper.  B-)
 TR> As you may have seen from me, I got mine early Sunday morning from the
 TR> website.  It does a fine job, too.
 WL> This bulletin just in!  (Literally.)  I've received a two-page
 WL> e-mail from Mark Goodman at 3COM; my X2 enable key and
 WL> instructions for upgrading to V.90.  Haven't even had a chance
 WL> to perform the upgrade yet -- but I will as soon as I finish
 WL> reading this mail packet!
Peachy!  I hope it works for you as well as it's working for me!
 WL> And, naturally, my ISP is still stuck with K56flex with no
 WL> idea just how soon they'll get their upgrades. 
Well, MichNet, which maintains a state-wide modem pool, isn't running
any 56K protocol right now, but the new modems it put into Flint a year
or so ago are Rockwell modems.  (Maybe I mean "routers".  Not sure
what's what.  At any rate, whatever it is that answers when I dial the
number...)  I'm going to have to send a message to Scott Gerstenberger,
I suppose, and see what they're thinking down there in Ann Arbor...
