Just a warning if you plan on buying a Mustek product. I spent almost
half hour with more than one Arab speaking "tech support" person
yesterday. Never did figure out what they were saying to me as I don't
understand Farce or whatever language they speak over there. Never did
get my problem fixed, wasted money in my book... Just a warning if you
are looking at video or dvd equipment..

Probably Indian.

Always ask for a supervisor when you get someone like that. You'll
eventually get a native speaker of English. Happened to me yesterday with
the corporate tumor which absorbed my mortgage from the previous company,
whose service was fantastic. "I'm sorry, but I'm having difficulty
understanding you. Can I speak to your supervisor?" I got an American to
talk to.

To make matters worse, they always seem to have phones that are soaked in
water each night, and their calls are routed through an old Casio digital
watch or something.

LOL!

Actually, almost all of these companies are now using "IP" telephone
service.

Do you mean VOIP? When I had that, the voices were always very clear. But
every so often the call would simply get lost! Vonnage has gotten the bugs
worked out, but SunRocket folded soon after they got their bugs worked out.

Here's a site which compares several of the VOIP companies, in case
anyone's interested. My neighbor signed up with VOIP.com, the one on top,
and is happy with it. Sometimes the service will have a problem, but for
$10 a month, it can't be beat - if it doesn't go down!

According to the site Sunrocket numbers live on in VOIP.com.

After I noticed that Vonage had an "excellent" Customer Service
rating.... I just closed the window.

My pet peeve is busnisses that use VOIP. It is cheap and you get what
you pay for. I would never subject my clients to that kind of bull****
service. I know people that use it for business, it is a poor
reflection of your customer service just to use internet phone at
all...
