Do you mean a Zoltrix modem? That is what I've got. I've got a
Zoltrix 14.4 (NON-RPI!), cost me $200 in April '94. Damn good deal at
the time (USR's were $270 here then). I think Zoltrix is great, I've
NEVER had ANY problems with the Zoltrix modems. I use mine on IRQ2
too, and it works with everything right away. (As long as the program
supports IRQ 2 that is, but if it doesn't then it is brain damaged and
I delete it). If I upgrade to a 33k, I'll definately get a Zoltrix.
It is only... lemme check... It's only $99 here without voice. Cool
deal if u ask me (plus with a 5year warranty. :o)

I've got fetchmail, sendmail, dynamic-ip-webpage-updater, atomic clock
time syncronization program, several fingers, and a couple other
things in my ip-up. This makes the first 10 minutes a living hell of
waiting!! Wish I could afford the 33k.

You can go to the main menu, pick Setup, pick Update, and get the
addresses. I think I just searched my Infomagic CDs for the filename
"pine" and then changed the filename to 3.95 and did a ftpsearch for
the file. It is pine3.95.tar.gz. I got it from the main PINE site.
Don't remember it's address but it is in the Setup|Update somewhere.
Use ftpsearch if you can't find it.

Nope, I'm in Canada, we've got 120V. :o) 60Hz too.

If they were I would send them to microsoft, ie:
