Geez Ben, don't hold back, tell us how you really feel! ;^) And remember those damned things were built specifically so the manufacturer could save $2 or $3 on the cost of the modem.

My usual recommendation on what to do when you have trouble with a software modem is to bash it up with a hammer and then burn it. Those things have no redeeming features what so ever. They are very proprietary. They often cause system instability. They frequently don't work at all. In the cases where they do work, performance usually suffers. </RANT> -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.
