Re: [OM] OT - Phising phone calls

[Chuck Norcutt]

I had to replace my Time Warner modem about a week ago.  The replacement 
was exactly the same model Motorola that I returned.  That model has a 
backup battery but they wouldn't give me one with the replacement.  They 
said they don't supply batteries anymore.  It causes too much trouble 
because people can't shut down the modem when they're trying to run 
diagnostics.
