Slightly OT - I still have a USR v.Everything Courier sitting on my bookshelf... haven't used it in years, but would hate to give it up... what's odd is that it's still being sold by US Robotics.

Too many PnP crowd with too much money to waste. IMO, this symptom is everywhere.
But economy has to move, money has to go around, LOL!

I find it amazing that US Robotics is seemingly alive and well after all that's happened since they began. They are lucky to have a good parent company

No kidding. They've been to Hell and back like 3 times...

Just nice to see them still around - they were huge contributors to the first round - BBS's with UUCP/Fidonet and then perosnal SLIP/PPP dialup Internet connections - many of the modem vendors have gone away, so seeing that USR is still being around, that is is pretty cool, esp. considering the 3Com meltdown...

Was kindly dinging a good friend@VZ on the Verizon/AOL purchase - as AOL is still one of the leading dialup providers, last count was about 24M subs - my ding on him was it content or modem users

I think we've gone off the range again

My first engineering job in the industry was working on USR Robotics Total Control modem racks. Those things were fun. Basically a PRI/T1 in and 24 modems out.
