Yep, I've already had a good chuckle about that, thanks all the same.  :)

Until Paul mentioned it, I never even knew there was a difference, and I'm
currently on my 6th USR modem.  If he wants to consider it a bug, that's
his prerogative.  Just don't expect me to agree with him, that's all.

Incidentally, I had my first failed connect with his Courier this morning -
a 28800 MNP connect was negotiated, then the modem immediately dropped
carrier.  Called again, got another 28800 MNP connect, and the mail
transferred OK that time.  Most people would blame the modems, but not me. 
Not this time.  I'm not forcing MNP here, so Paul has apparently been
playing around with his Courier's S27 register, something that should be
left well alone unless one knows exactly what they're doing.  And I'm
convinced that Paul doesn't, I'm afraid.

Regards, Bill
