My rebate is 3 months past due, so I just sent Quantum a bill for interest on my money at 24% (credit card rate). I think it is a binding contract when they said rebate in 2 months and anytime after that it is my money. If they want to keep it a while then they should pay interest like I have to.

Downloaded the latest drivers from the manufacturers for Win2K and used them to build the system when the modem boards were first installed. System was originally built about 2 weeks ago.

Modems will not connect above 28.8K in my Win2K system. I have 4 modems, Creative, SupraMax, US Robotics and HP USB external, and none of the 3 internal modems will connect above 28.8K. Pull them out and put them into the Win98 system next to it and they all connect at 37K to 44K consistently...
