 So why did you state that your old modem was garbage on the premise that

 it was a Netcomm?  It would be more true to say that it was a spanky modem

 until you got your hands on it.

 No, it goes to show some people are more stupid than others; most

 people on this echo asking for init strings havn't had a 7 squillion

 volt bolt of lightening screw their modem.



 Bye, bye Vaughinem.
