I have to agree on that.

More stable than Sio. With Sio I had regular 45333 connect with Internet,
seldom 48000 or 49333. With Quatech drivers I do have regular 48000 connect,
and seldom 45.333 or 49333.

On Fido Iwas always stuck with 28800, now I do have almost 31200; on the same
BBS's, ofcoz.

Imho, the Sio never have match completely the move from Warp 3 --> Warp 4.


 KS>> and are free.

 SM> Of course, you factored in the cost of the Quatech board?

The files are free for download. A free 32 port version. Don't see  much
reason to pay for more for getting less.
BTW: I do have a Sio 4 port license; indeed.

 SM> I own one, and altho it is very fine hardware, it is far from free!

They give us a good reason to buy their hardware, don't they,
