- Good luck for you then! I SWARE they said they had customers who
- tried to connect the IISI with their NB4 and Radius Rocket and
- it worked for them. It is because Radius told me it won't work
- so I was EXTRA CARE by asking them about this three or four times.
- They also said that it TURNS the IISI into the IIci.
- I never received a FAX you mentioned above.
-
- Perhaps if I have been taping them for all of our conversations, I
- would send a copy of the tape to each of you who think it is a miscommunication
- and offer a $10000 bet of your agreement with me that they were cheating
- after you hear the tape. Unfortunately, I did not tape them since
- I was told it is not good to tape telephone conversation. I should
- have done it so that nobody will be able to defend for them.
-
-
- Again, as I mentioned already, SECOND WAVE IS NOT THE SAME AS THIRD WAVE.
- Maybe they try to confuse us by making a name similar to a reputable
- company (THIRD WAVE). I don't want to hear any FIRST or FORTH WAVE
- in the future.....
