Think of it this way - it's probably better to do it sometime soon, when you know what's going on and have time to deal with it, then to have it happen the next time you lose power for half a second, and have a term paper due or have a porno emergency. Not to scare you, but I've seen them fail after a power cycle where you can't even get into ROM. It becomes a $295 frisbee. If it turns out to choke and cough blood, I might still have one laying around at home I'd be willing to part with really cheap. You might be better off buying a 678 though (ebay), since it will work with both CAP (675) and DMT. I wouldn't be surprised if Qwest had a forced DMT conversion for all CAP customers within the next 12 to 24 months. Just be aware of that possibility before you shell out any dough for another modem, if it comes to that. And I sincerely hope it doesn't!

That's hopeful, anyway. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
