- : your going to find that with other modem manufactueres as well..
- : its basiclally illegal to use most modems in other countries
- : that are not approved by that countries phone service. if usr
- : supports you they can risk losing thier certification in
- : that country.
- The point is, USR modems are type approved in Singapore. There're no
- specific made-for-Singapore USR modems here. The authorised distributor
- here is also selling the same domestic modems you find in USA/Canada but
- with an original 220V USR powersupply.
-
- Since the USR modems are already type approved here, why no support?
