Hi,

We also become tired waiting for Lucent to fix their modem
problems with the PM3. Can anyone give us an update
on when we can expect to get our hands on a new and hopefully
better working modem code for the PM3?? I do not need 3.9,
I simply want a 3.8 working comos.

we are getting less complaints now!
