Jim Zajac, a user of RCPM Royal Oak is getting conflicting answers from
the Anchor modem people.  He would like to contact Ed Rickter for more
details.  I hope we can find someone to help.  It annoys me to see a
manufacturer apparently giving out different information to different
people.  If there is a problem they should admit it.  We would all
have greater respect for them and be more inclined to buy their product
because we knew they gave good user support.

Re:   ANCH-BYE.FQX

Dear Ed,  where did you get the info concerning the fix for the 
Anchor MK12 modem?  Anchor says that there is no such fix or ROMs 
available.  Could you upload a more specific file concerning the 
details of your conversation with Anchor or whoever for the rest 
of us.  Thank you .

.....Jim Zajac
