Anybody know why Earthlink terminated the agreement with Microworkz??
The excuse they gave in the press release was very carefully worded and did not really describe the problems.

I personally had my fingers on a Webzter PC from Microworkz. The PC seemed to be Ok however you could not stay connected to Earthlink for more than a few minutes. After working on the problem for hours, I installed another modem. No more problems. The modem shipped with the PC was a cheapie and the one I was fooling with was a disaster.
If they shipped all the PC's with this same type modem, then both Microworkz and Earthlink probably had lots of complaints. Maybe Earthlink got sick of it. Just speculating.
Does anybody really know???
