Heh. I have to laugh at this comment. Has there =ever= been a "good time" to
shop for a high-speed modem? Is there likely to be one in the next year?
They don't call it the "bleeding edge" for nothing.

Frankly, I don't worry about immature firware. That's what tech support folks
are for. As long as the hardware design is solid, and the company is willing
to support it without having you mail back the modem for something as
trivial as a chip swap.
