True. I've been in that team for a long time. I also used kppp for |
| 13 |
a long time, because the conexant seemed not to like anything else |
| 14 |
that I tried. However, by that time, it was probably due to my |
| 15 |
inexperience, but definitely the buggy hsf driver has a big part |
| 16 |
on it as well. |

The demo driver wouldn't even work. It only permitted up to 14kbps |
| 19 |
(of those 56 that the modem and the line where capable of) which |
| 20 |
provoked the connection to abort usually in less than 1 min. So |
| 21 |
I had to buy it without really knowing if it would work. It was |
| 22 |
a dumb buy, I should have invested in a true modem from the start, |
| 23 |
even if the price was a bit higher. |
