- It wasn't the termination because I try to connect the MO without terminating
- it, but it is very likely the second problem.
- I sent the driver back to MacProducts, and I hope they will fix it fast. Not
- that I'm very happy with their service: slow delivery, this problem, and no
- toll free technical support (the most stupid thing on earth; I'm wondering
- if their savings in phone call can compensate their loss in clients....).
- But after all they are the cheapest place, and you get what you pay for :-(
