Re: No Modems... Why?

What I gathered from "Message 3" was that Livingston would be able to
provide _all_ 2000+ ISPs of PM3s at least 1 set (and I have no idea what a
set is, but you get what I mean) of the new modems by July 15th.
Well, that's my interpretation, at least. Could be wrong.
But we already waited about half a year now. Compared to that, a couple of
weeks should be a piece of cake. :)
Cheers!
Leonard.
