I've seen this model too, only two days ago in fact (installed it into
somebodys machine and set up internet software on it) and I was alert
and ready to see the problem in action. Unfortunately, (or fortunately
as it may be) I couldn't seem to get it to play up - no long delays
occured, in fact it performed flawlessly. To be honest I only used it for
an hour or so....

Either the problem is more subtle or less frequent than we've been lead
to believe, or they actually have fixed it in the latests samples of the
modem...

Simon
