Sorry to flood poor north america with this many 'F' lines, but
I couldn't think of anything to trim that wouldn't affect the
meaning of this reply (which shouldn't really be here, but I'll
continue John's mistake for ONE more article, any further comments to
net.flame). I am neither stupid or willing to commercialize the net
in any respect. Neither am I in the business of doing free advertising
for Genstar. I don't even WORK for Genstar, I'm a free lance
consultant. Whether or not Genstar has password modems around for
sale or lease is not my concern. The offer of sale is a genuinely
private one not connected with the company in any way.
If someone from National offered to sell his soldering iron would
you presume it was a company conspiracy to get rid of surplus
equipment?? John, please direct potentially damaging accusations
like this to me personally in the future.

				Damned if I do any more favors.
