Why Does This International Move Hate Me So?

[toosuto]

Things I discovered today that I really didn't want to have learned:

The speedtouch 330 USB ADSL modem is such a piece of shite that attempting a video conference in iChat (which I enthusiastically sold both mine and Sara's parents on) will hose my entire internet connection.

ichat can have port conflicts with Vonage our stateside phone service (which is still an answering service since I got such a crap modem to begin with.

And to think I hated my old Arescom DSL modem.

Actually I'm finding good stuff that I didn't really find easily in the states ever (ADSL gateway + router and WAP: I didn't even to think to look for it back home) but they've got them here on the shelf at Curry's even an idiot proof version for the non-technically inclined from Belkin. The here-is-your-free-equipment-so-you-can-access-our-service is 100% lame. Lame, lame, lame.

Lamer than that even...
