You're getting cynical in your old age... I rang John McMahon at Austel
today to see what could be done about Motorola not keeping their word about
firmware upgrades for my $1297 Motorola Codex 3265 Fast V.34 (which has
been changed over to a 3266 model but still doesn't support 33.6kbps
operation, even though it is available throughout Europe).
