Once apon a time Bill Grimsley said, 'Re: problems' to Simon Byrnand...

Neither do I...

 SB> Very likely, this modem has "been around" and was
apparently one of the

 BG> One of the ATIn commands should give you the chipset revision.

Just tried it today, ATI6 reported that it is a "04BB" revision. (I forget
the part before it, something like "Rockwell 288dpi"...) So is that even
worse than a 04BC?? ;)

 BG> I've read that it's due to bus timing problems, but all I really know
 BG> for sure is that some internals will not work on Triton I boards.  I

Hmm, one of those subtle little unexplainable problems in the making!

Simon
