Others are having similar problems, and telling USR about them.  They are not
as annoying as the problems with the Telebit, but they are annoying.  I can
connect to Europe sometimes, and other times can not get 200 miles.

Yes, it would be wonderful if the HST (and Telebit) would revert to the EEROM
settings when the call is finished.  Note that the Telebit reverts to *factory*
(not EEROM) settings if an outbound call collides with an inbound call.  This
is usually very confusing to the software.

Also rumors that hundreds of Fidonet systems use HSTs are rather overstated,
to say the least.  Currently a few dozen Fidonet systems use 9600, and they're
about half USR and half Telebit.
