Re: (ASCEND) Imac is here, and it STILL...
According to ZDTV the Imac seems to have a backward compatibility issue
with its modem. They quoted Apple as saying something to the effect that
the connection problem (when connecting to ISP's) is because the ISP isnt
keeping up with technology. Now I am assuming he speaks of V90, which
leaves me with two thoughts: Are they not able to do remote access to other
older macs by ARA (not my problem), Does he even have a clue that small and
large ISP's are having problems with boxes like the TNT and xK's every time
we try to use the latest code w/ V90.
