Yes it would, unfortunately life life is rarely simple, prejudice usually
wins out over rational thought, and Serbian kill Albanians. The point is
the people who call our servers are not interested into wheres, whys or
excuses. If it doesn't work and they find it works elsewhere they will
go elsewhere. If Lucent don't get their act together and supply modem
code that works (as well as fixing a few other "oh my god" bugs) then
the people that buy Livingston Portmasters will either go out of business
or switch to other NAS's.
