[hsflinux] My bottom line.

[azajac at vif.com]

I'm going to keep an eye on this list to track the fallout...

I know what it is like to run a buisiness, and I sympathise with you.

But,

I paid 14.95 Canadian dollars (plus tax) for my HSF modem.  The modest cost of
the new-and-improved driver (in US dollars) is more than what I originally paid
for the device.

I can pay 14.95 Canadian dollars for a controllerless PCTEL modem which has a
working linux driver.

I can pay about ten dollars to get a Smart Link AMR modem with the same
characteristics.

Had you asked me yesterday for a contibution to keep the project going, I would
have considered it.  To charge me today for the driver and to think that if I
upgrade my kernel next year I will have to pay again does not sound like a smart
purchase.

Good luck.

AZ.
