Hmmm. I wouldn't usually nit pick, but this is the second time in two
days I've heard words to the effect of "well, those modems suck which
is why it doesn't work".
Out in The Real World people have to work with what they have. Most
times those of use trying to work with crappy modems do not hold the
purse strings. We also have to work with what our predecessors
did, and the laughable state of modem "standards" over the last few
years.
One of the reasons I moved from Cisco to Livingston was that the
former had grown big enough to have the "do it our way or don't do it"
attitude. I hope Livingston can handle it's growth without developing
this attitude.

Lucky you.

Maybe that could be better phrased as "many places obviously have to
consider cost very carefully".

Don't take this too seriously. I'm just in a bad mood 'cos I can't
afford the modems I want :)
