- This isn't true -- Telebit has started shipping the T3000/WorldBlazer
- FAX upgrades, although I'm not sure that you can buy a T3000 or WB
- with the FAX ROMs already installed.

- I should also point out that Toby is an engineer, not a marketroid.
- He doesn't write the press releases, but posts them because he thinks
- that they will be of interest to the people reading this group. I
- would hate to see Toby stop participating because people keep flaming
- him personally for Hayes' actions.

- Bundled software usually is. I actually wish modem makers would stop
- bundling commercial software with their modems -- it just makes the
- modem cost more, and doesn't do anything for the people who don't run
- MS-DOS or already have software. Supra seems to be doing one thing
- right in this regard; you can get a Supra V.32bis FAXmodem with PC
- software, with Mac software, or without software entirely.
