I agree here too - now maybe the throughput on the TB is low (you can never tell easily ?) - but it holds the line - which results in cheaper phone bills. Also - all the V32's that I know of that have tried to get through to me - have done so OK - thought they suffer on bad connections. >Dont' worry, we're happy. ** DO ** worry.... Bad press --> lower sales --> less R&D --> poor future. So is PC Mag going to print a re-test? an appology? - or - some bright folk in the US gona hand-hold them into getting the 'S' Regs correct? If Telebit improve on the TB, then I'd like to see... 1 - add 38K4 and V32bis 2 - A 2 digit display of the current line quality, regardless of connection type [PEP/V??] with a range 0=NC, 99=back-to-back TB's, (kinda like my digital volt meter across my car battery) -- . . ___. .__ Olivetti Systems & Networks, Unix Support - Africa /| /| / /__ UUCP: {uunet,olgb1,olnl1}!olsa99!mje (Mark Elkins) / |/ |ARK \_/ /__ LKINS mje@olsa99.UUCP (Postmaster) Tel: +27 11 339 9093
