   An interesting read. Yes, ISP modems are garbage. Totally agreed.   
      
   Ever since I wrote the "hooks" into Renegade to do what I wanted it to do, the   
   statistics are more accurate, the computer is not needlessly loading the BBS    
   on a call, etc... its just much more efficient here.
