Well Jeff, did MicroSoft pay you for that plug?
I think you have missed the point. The point is options. I don't own
a MicroSoft OS, or a MAC. I am presently using Linux. Give me a Wizard
to flash my modem and it may as well be a door stop. Options Jeff, options!
If you and 3Com understand that and continue to provide me with SDL's
to flash my modems I will continue to buy. When you stop I will stop
buying.
I now have three Couriers. I am not a sysop who bought on some deal,
I'm just the average Joe on the corner. I spent a lot of money on
these modems. My continued support of you and 3Com will be a direct
reflection on your support of me, the average Joe.
