Come on now Mr Gallaghe, "professional" driver or not, there are laws in this
fine land of ours, if you feel that you have to break them to make a living,
perhaps it's time to change professions? You claim that going through a red
light at 2am in the morning is quite alright! A "professional" driver would
have some respect for the laws that keep us half a step above anarchy. 

Personally, I find Mr Gallaghe's statements most disturbing and distasteful.
His closing comments hint at his being rather unstable mentally. Watch out
for this guy.

So you're one of these "professional drivers" who races through at the
very end of amber on the basis that everyone else has to wait for you. Of
course, the poor sod who is turning right and depends on the amber to
clear the intersection becomes the bunny then.

It's cowboys like that who give taxis a bad name.

You sure got worked up over this didn't you. I'm sure a lot of
people would disagree with you.  Being a professional driver (you're
obviously a completely unprofessional sunday afternoon driver) it is in
my best interests to know where such spots exist as I earn a living out
of driving.  Running a light may be accidental or an impulsive reaction,
not only intentional as you make out.  I haven't being booked for any
traffic offenses for over two years and I'm determined to keep it that way.

BTW, I don't think there are going to be any little kiddies running across
main roads at 2am in the morning. Even if someone was, they'd be bloody stupid
not to check that cars were coming to a halt before they left the curb.

In any case I would never go through a red light late enough to hit anyone.
You sound like the sort of driver who'd coming to a screeching halt when
you're ten metres from the line and the lights have just turned yellow,
causing three others behind you to go right up your backside.  I doubt you
could honestly say that you've never run a red light.

I hope this ends the matters cause frankly, I don't want to hear anymore
about it.

PS: I hope sometime, somewhere, someplace where you least expect it, a letter
turns up in your mail box which says "smile!, you're on red light camera!".

PSS: You'd better run for you're life when you're crossing a road that I
coming down 'cause I'm gonna run you down.

The correct usage is
rz < /dev/port > /dev/port 
  or
sz < /dev/port > /dev/port.
Is needs both stdin and out redirected. If this still still doesn't
work, then you'd better start checking the other programs, but that

Maestro modems have cheap line transformers which have an order of
magnitute higher capacitance than "good" line transformers you find in
modems like Dataplex. 

One of the problems that this causes is that Maestro modems have a poor
CMRR (Common mode rejection ratio) and can't handle the more hostile
environments.

Simply put, there are cheap modems, and there are good modems.  Sometimes,
there are cheap good modems, but not always.  Basically, you get what you
pay for.

I had sh*tloads of trouble with the one I had.  Sometimes wouldn't auto-answer,
it wouldn't accept the dial string at full speed i.e. machine-dialled, and the
internal construction was terrible.  As I recall, a heatsink on a regulator
was perilously close to something metallic, and would short to it.

 I have had one of these Maestro Super Executives for a couple of months now
and it works fine for me.
 The only problems ive had is it has a tendancy to attempt to Sync onto some
sorts of ring signals and it doesnt seem to like trailblazers.
 The attempting to sunc to ring signals problem , most of the time is no
problem as the remote answers quickly and they start to sync properly. Once
it resulted in a slow speed connect.
 Ive had big problems getting it to talk to a Trailblazer + , although i
have connected to a V32 capable trailblazer 2500 no problems.
 I ended up putting 6 comma's ( pause during dial) after the number to call
a particular system with an old 'blazer.

 Its not had any other problems , it talks V32 well , and the V42/V42bis
seem to work well.
 I have opened it up and taken a poke around. Ive also seen the guts of
an Interlink Base 9600, and theres not a whole lot of difference. It
seems to be built just as well as any other modem ive opened..
