Yes, it will be interesting to see what a REAL expert has to
say about it.  I guess the only way to find out for sure is
to get one.  I've already got one problem listed before I've
even bought the modem!  Still, you assured me that any modem
other than my Spirit would perform brilliantly, so you'll get
to hear about every Netcomm bug too.  It's looking pretty obvious 
that support is 0 BTW, they're not even willing to call my
courier to get a sale!  But I wouldn't get any different
elsewhere, so so be it.  BFN.  Paul.
