- man im gunna go to work in a few hours in a disgrunted at the internet
- mood today.. how Totally Rad.. yeah everyone says us robotics wont
- fix bugs bla bla... but.. at least there trying to some extent...
- what about rockwell???
-
- I keep saying this over and over.. when theres bugs in usr modems we get
- them to fix it.. when theres a minor flaw in the pentiums, even if were
- never gunna actually see it happen playing mech warrior or whatever, we
- scream and intel fixes it..
- but what about rockwell?? we scream and bitch and they still make RPI
- modems... they still have v.42 bugs in thier 14.4k datapumps, they still
- have bugs from what i hear in the v.34 chips [3429 rate] that every
- modem manufacturer who makes modems based on the rockwell design has
- to put a workaround in the code.. I mean look at all those people who
- bought v.fc modems? they all had to spend somewhere between 0-100 dollars
- to buy a whole new modem.. not to mention not having a modem to use for
- up to 2 weeks at a time. the fact is that usr and some at&t based modems
- are the only modems not designed on buggy/flawed rockwell chips in the price
- range. they deserve more credit then that
-
- you cant turn your head without noticing that everytime you look behind you
- rockwell is skimping modems down and more.. first they take out the error
- correction, and now some companies are making modems that have no controller
- whatsoever.. forcing the computer to do everything.. earlier i had 10 or
- so windows running with cpu usage 100%.. with ftp, news, and all that stuff..
- i dont think i have any room left to handle the error correction or the
- data pump in software after all that.. what can they possibly do next to
- lower the overal quality on modems? HMMMM????
-
- and all you guys do is yell at usr..
