We bought *six* of 'em!

As I pointed out earlier, this is not the only problem with the
pre-MNP Everex modems.  We just barely caught this problem in time
to stop a quantity buy.  When I related to management the problem(s)
with the Everex modems we had, and the solution, (don't buy any made
before Feb 28) it was decided to jettison the product in favor of the
USR Sportster.  Management decided that checking datecodes on incoming
modems was more than we as customers should reasonably be expected
to put up with.  The Sportster is $40 cheaper and doesn't exhibit the
problems of the Everex.

And so it goes.
