    Anyway, I just thought I'd add my reactions to the USR 1200 baud S-100
    modem to the dung heap...
    
    First, *FLAME ON!* -- they didn't include schematics with the creature.
    To me, this is inexcusable.  When I get an S-100 board, I like to know
    what's in it, and I like to have a schematic around to modify it if it
    comes down to that.  I have sent them a letter about this, and we shall
    see whether it's simply an oversight or if it's against their policy to
    include schematics, or what.

It's against FCC regulations.  They've supplied you with a
direct-connect device; they're not allowed to let you make your own
adjustments to it.  Only FCC-certified technicians are supposed to play
with it.

I agree that it's unfair, but they have to stay in business.
