- ZyXEL bends over backwards to get new code in the hands of owners as
- fast an humanly possible. Why do companies like PPI continue to play
- such stupid games with owners of their products?
-
- USRobotics shipped zillions of 16.8K Duals with roms (2/92) that won't talk to
- HST's having a 4/13/88 supervisor date. This after owners had been reporting
- the same problem in the previous model since 5/91! When owners of the new
- modems call Tech Support for a debugged rom set they deny their existence.
- (someone on a local BBS went through this last month, and even when he
- requested the new roms which fix the "line reversal bug" they said there
- was no such thing until he pressed the issue. Now he has the new roms.)
