But Alcatel posted a MS Word file on their Web site about the problem and fix (which they've since removed). Unfortunately, the file saved deleted changes. The draft document is far more interesting than the real one. See some of the deleted comments here: http://morons.org/articles/1/188With attitudes like these from Alcatel, if I had the misfortune to be using one of their modems, I'd be calling my ISP up and demanding a different modem.
