- If I could find someone who I could BORROW one from, or get a loaner for a
- month (30 day eval) then I might be interested.
-
- My application is for a Netblazer; the modem has to work, it has to be
- trouble-free, and it has to be able to be interfaced to the screwey
- modemcap.txt file which Telebit uses. If it flunks any of these tests then
- it is not going to be suitable, and I cannot afford to buy modems and then
- not have them work out.
-
- Unfortunately, ZyXEL doesn't seem that interested in this sort of
- arrangement. Anyone in Chicago who would be willing to loan me one?
