- I don't believe so. I am one of the users who have had this trouble dialing into
- Ed's system, and the modems retrain _immediately_ after connecting, then drop
- the connection entirely. Repeated attempts see deteriorating behaviour, until
- they won't even connect. After Ed cycles the power on the WB, everything
- is hunky-dory again until the next time it happens.

- It looks and smells like a firmware bug to me.
