    6000/608 kbps SBC DSL plans for 44.95 or 60$/month in select Areas of CA YMMV

    This actually has nothing to do with SBC being "slick". The distance requirements are part of the DSL spec. The distance between you and the CO is the major factor in what speeds you can get. Even if they let you upgrade to the expert package, you wouldn't be able to reliably achieve those...

    FLAMING hot: NEW Plextor 40X SCSI CDrom + Altec Lansing ACS340x speakers for $51.30

    jimstone, If it's possible, have LotsaMula post the source code somewhere. Some of us programmer types might be able to work out the kinks and have the proggy available earlier. I totally understand if he wants to keep the source to himself though. It probably took a lot of time to develop...

    FLAMING hot: NEW Plextor 40X SCSI CDrom + Altec Lansing ACS340x speakers for $51.30

    FLAMING hot: NEW Plextor 40X SCSI CDrom + Altec Lansing ACS340x speakers for $51.30

    Hi all. I just received the drive and the speakers today. The drive's firmware is labeled as an HP CD40x. I tried to flash it with the firmware updates on the Plextor site but none of them work. They all return PX-40 not found. I suppose they check the firmware on the drive before they try to...
