Hi Jon, unfortuatley the only real solution here is to purchase a good
modem. GV are and always have been junk! There is no biased here, Mac's
are my weapon of choice, but the GV Modem is just bad. Some people have
had good luck, but they are 99.9% problematic. If your user bitches and
screams enough, he should be able to get a complete refund on his/her
modem, I have been sucessful in 3 such cases of demanding that the modem
price be refunded (no matter how old)
