Dan,

I am within 700 feet of the remote, so I don't know if that makes a
difference or not.  I guess I should feel fortunate achieving regular
connects of 33.6, but I am downright jerked about it.  Modem manufacturers
should ethically and/or legally print those kinds of prominant issues on
their products in an effort to not mislead consumers.  Please forward to
Ralph Nader.

I am sitting on a Diamond Stealth Supraexpress ISP and can't do a thing with
it.  Kind of like owning a Corvette, while living in the Amazon?
