I have no argument with that (and I think I said something similar just
a few minutes ago).

I believe what some of the other folks (including myself) were referring
to was more your continuing patience with the same questions (from
different people, hopefully), your knowledge of modem hardware,
firmware, and communication issues, and your willingness to share that
knowledge on the list...

That's the part you can stand up and take a bow for :)

I feel just like you do on the source code and contribution thing (I
wish a few more people would get a clue...).

So go ahead, accept the thanks and kudos, you deserve it.

Steve
