Wireless weirdness (was: NT Stuff)

[Hewitt Tech]

Geez Ben, don't hold back, tell us how you really feel! ;^)

And remember those damned things were built specifically so the manufacturer
could save $2 or $3 on the cost of the modem.

  I hate those fscking things.  My usual recommendation on what to do when
you have trouble with a software modem is to bash it up with a hammer and
then burn it.  Those things have no redeeming features what so ever.  They
are very proprietary.  They often cause system instability.  They frequently
don't work at all.  In the cases where they do work, performance usually
suffers.
