Ok, at this point I think we can say:

1. Ascend reeks

2. Their product reeks

3. their OS reeks

4. their modems reek

5. their support reeks

6. MZ is the coolest guy around

7. Livingston needs to start a trade-up program for Ascend 4000
series hardware... Trade up to a PM-11 and some super-cheap generic
modems - I'd put money on the config out performing the Ascend.

8. This list is cool, huh heh huh.

9. 'reset all' was created for BOFHs

10. Zyxel and Ascend ought to hook it up, one is just as SPAMMIN as
the other.

Thank you, drive through
