Agreed.

Just as long as it's not another second-hand Spirit...

Absolutely, although most of my calls to Paul are at 28800/28000 anyway
(one or two have connected at 26400/28800, but then shifted up to top speed
almost immediately).  Dunno why the NetComm should be any different.  BTW,
how does it connect with others of its ilk?
