Where was that article published. Computer Shopper? Smart Money? or Screw? Oh, so you wanted that car with tires? Well, let's step over to our tire department. Well there's a cautionary tale. Sorry to hear that Mr. Scrapps' problem the other night was COMS induced. :^(

Don't feel bad. My >$8k IBM ThinkPad came with the internal MWave modem/telephony ket - but no telephony software. Never bought any, never have needed used it in almost two years, and didn't really miss it.

Mr. Reporter, the Townshend Saga was not renewed by the thread for this season and your Phantom Chronicles would seem to be an excellent replacement. Please write a chapter from time to time as your living room dries out and your computer progresses. o~~~ O

Or that he was told he could send the internal modem back and go buy an exterior one to free up the slot. He said "it sure is funny how they know so much after they get your money!" I really don't like the sound of all this. I think you (the phantom <g>) should have the software if that (the software) is what has been shipping with modems off the shelf. I bet if you contacted COMS they would blame DELL, what a bunch of crap. Just GIVE me the software dammit! How many slots (16 bit ISA) did your machine come with? Derek
