- I have one, but would not recommend it to anyone.
-
- The KERMIT problem has been worked around in the current MS-KERMIT patch file.
-
- I have seen mentioned in this group the current card includes a daughter-board.
- It is possible that this card fixes a lot of the firmware/Rockwell problems
- with this modem. The board is completely surface mount without any way
- to upgrade the ROMS.
-
- The Gateway BBS is useless for locating patches or known problems with the
- modem. Support sucks. The "technical" staff doesn't know a lot about
- modems (BREAK? What's a break? Why do you want to send one?).
-
- To their credit, Gateway <WILL> take the modem back, but they won't fix
- the problems. Save yourself the trouble. Buy something else.
