LE>Because they don't know the details. Both the E34F and M34F use the
LE>Rockwell RC288DPi (R6682) V.34 datapump which is an integrated
LE>DSP+ROM which implements most current ITU-T datacomms standards.

I do recall several threads about a 'buggy' version of this datapump 
circulating a while back.
When I was experiencing connection problems, I was asked by a Netcomm 
tech. rep. for my firmware version.
On giving this info all I was told was "that's fine"...wouldn't tell 
me if there was better....
I've since found there is a known 'fault' which causes it to 'click' 
when it shouldn't  :-)

LE>The E34F uses a 10MHz 8-bit Rockwell C39 or C40 processor
LE>It also uses Rockwell standard firmware with some minor NetComm 
LE>OEMization.

LE>The M34F uses a 20MHz 16/32-bit Motorola MC68302FE processor
LE>and it uses NetComm-proprietary firmware.

Interesting!
You seem familiar with the x34F's and there differences.
From how you described the E34F, I can still see how the E34F would be 
described as a 'glue-n-go' modem  ;-)

I do recall when I purchased my E34F that the only thing of value the 
person on Netcomms sales line could tell me about the differences with 
the M34F, was the 8 vs. 16 bit uC! - I never did receive that info she 
was going to fax me  :-)
