Sir,
        I also will not touch the first comment. That's for another
list. As to your response to the second let me talk from experiance, we
run PM3s. 
        LT winmodems are a disaster!! We have dedicated techs whos sole
job is to try valiantly to get these $@%^@ to connect. It comes to a
point when we find it profitable to simply hand the customer a real
modem instead of spend 6-10 hours of tech trying to get the LT to
connect. Also we keep a customer.
        The entire concept of a software based modem is flawed! First
you are trusting a windows VXD which is a mistake. Then you are
expecting it to give similar performance to a dedicated hardware
solution. Lucent simply wanted to make a buck at the customers expense,
must customers don't understand that the winmodem isn't a high quality
piece of equipment... It's also very dificult for our tech to explain to
someone who just payed $2000 for a "top of the line internet pc" has a
$2 modem. Because the manufacturer was to cheap to put a decent one in
and assumed the customer wouldn't know the diference and blame his/her
ISP for the crappy connects.

End of Flame bate
