It's hard to do that when people are working fine, then you install the highly rated USR Couriers and all of a sudden they can't even establish a connection. I've had to leave some old modems in place and put an upgrade on hold because it affected so many users, many of whom are using other USR modems even. Now, you get another Courier on the other end, and it'll hang on come hell or high water, but telling users to go spend $300 instead of the $50 winmodem they just got, well, they'll just go to the next isp that's got compatible modems. -- Alan Batie ______ It's not my fault!
