No, there was no response from Telebit on the Net.  We have only
recently repaired netnews so that we can post (no I won't discuss it
-- we are sufficiently embarrassed and contrite).  If there is
sufficient interest I will get the text of the "rebuttal" and post it
here to this newsgroup.

For those of you who have been wondering where Telebit has been hiding
for the last year, rest assured that we are back and reading
comp.dcom.modems with great interest.  Greg Andrews, one of our
resident modem wizards, reads this newsgroup religiously.  I read but
keep my mouth shut most of the time because he understands the modems
better than I do.  On the other hand, I am the architect for the
NetBlazer so I will probably inject my $0.02-worth when the topic
rolls around to SLIP or PPP over modems.

One last piece of info, email to modems@telebit.com is working
properly again.  Feel free to post there for assistance with our
modems.  Feel free to post to support@telebit.com or
netblazer@telebit.com for NetBlazer info/assistance.
