I have the ACE-5000 modem/sound card from Best Data.
Around the beginning of the year they notified me that
a 28.8 upgrade would be available in March. I sent my
money for one. Toward the end of March I got this post
card saying that the upgrade would ship during the month
of May. It never came.

Around October I called Best Data and asked them where
my upgrade was. A very unhelpful man there told me that
there was a delay in the drivers they needed. It was all
IBM's fault since they were supplying the drivers, he
said. When I asked when I could expect my upgrade, I
could get no solid answers.

I'm wondering if anyone out there knows what's going on
with the upgrade, the supposed missing drivers, etc. Has
anyone else been ripped-off by this??
