Agreed - I'm not surprised, just frustrated ;-)

So it appears!

Yes, I've already emailed them.  Their previous K56 firmware initially
had bugs, but I could only get a response eventually by sending a very
forthright message by fax to the MD of LASAT.  This had the desired
effect.  Hopefully there'll be a quicker response this time.

You're probably right!

No, it seems to miss out the v.8 bit (the connection begins with a
fairly loud click, and then does a fairly quick negotiation with the
Zebedee bits thrown in)  Does/should the v.8 tone emanate intially from
this end or from Demon? In other words, if it's v90 at Demon's end
should I always hear the v.8 tone, even if the final negotiation is only
v34?  I still wonder if it's a peculiar telco problem.
