I doubt that NetComm did either (and maybe it still doesn't). I had the NB1300 that Netspace provided. It was always playing up. Then Netcomm released a firmware patch to "fix" a few problems. I applied it as per the destructions. An hour later after I realised that it bricked itself, I went to Hardley Normal and got an NB5. It was even worse - slow, lockups, etc. Then a few weeks later I moved to a new ISP which provided an Open Networks modem for its DSL2+ service. It's still going strong 4 years on. > My next modem is going to be the Belkin something ??? and I hope thats > is as reliable. > > I was considering a Billion at some stage. And what changed your mind? I'm looking at something like the 7404 series.

It's a good modem at a reasonable price. -- Long-time resident of Adelaide, South Australia, which may or may not influence my opinions.
