No, but the modem I had before worked just fine and I've already wasted about 
40 hours on this lemon! No more!

From the bad reports at that HCF web site, I'd say it was just a lemon modem.

I'm writing it off at this point. In a few months I'll switch to cable modem 
and every Tiger catalog we get from now on is going right in the trash. 
They'll lose 100 times the money this lemon costs, from us not doing business 
with them again. They screwed up bad by not refunding this!
