On the other hand if I purchase a box set of comerical SuSE ther is an implied warranty and in many locations a guarantee warranty by law that the product will perform as expected. If it does not then the product is in violation of its warranty and may be subject to none to severe legal penalties depending on purchase location. If it can be demonstrated that the product failure was due to gross neglance (inability to connect to the internet by modem) and that resulted in substantial damages to the consumer then it may be that the consumer is not only legally able to obtain their purchase price of the good back but that the consumer may be in fact be able to recover consiquental damages. To translate this latter assume Mr. Consummer purchases a good for $100.00 which does not perform as expected due to gross neglance in the manufacture of the good and the manufacture was aware of this then the manufacture may be liable to the consumer for the $1,000,000.00 consequential damage that non performance of the good caused.
My modem works fine under 10.1, although I don't need to use it unless my ADSL fails. I suggest you speak to the modem manufacturer to determine where the problem is, although I have an idea what it might be. I think you do too.
