- Thank you to all who responded with helpful answers, suggestions and opinions
- to my questions regarding modems (and one TCP/IP question).
-
- The answers were not as black and white as I (and several rude and obnoxious
- know-it-alls) had thought, and I'm glad I asked.
-
- If anyone wishes a summary, please drop me a line.
-
- For the "experts" who made snide observations about my job title:
-
- * You are yet to realise that not every net-related job is a technical
- position for a gun System Admin/Comms guru
- * You don't seem to realise that not every company on the net has the
- technical expertise in-house to run a TCP/IP connection - a lot rely on ISPs
- to provide such service, and they like to validate the advice they receive
- against an objective source.
- * You've *obviously* never asked a question of others just to make sure you're
- giving the boss the latest information in a particular field.
-
- Perhaps you might see one day, that when you don't have all the facts it's
- wisest to keep your assumptions to yourself lest *you* look the fool...
-
- Thanks again to all but the jerks,
-
