Ciao a tutti, sono FreeAnt

E' la prima volta che scrivo qui ma sappiate cmq che ci sono e che veglio
con attenzione su tutto quello che succede ;) d'altra parte non è neanche
tantissimo tempo che sono membro del FOLUG. Cosa c'entro io con Forlì non è
ancora chiaro, salvo (come dicevo a Marco) che mia sorella c'ha fatto la
high school, comunque tra i LUG mi sembravate i più simpatici. E chissà, un
salto a FO ce lo farò di sicuro, prima o poi. :)

Veniamo a noi: chiedo scusa del ritardo (ero in montagna); desideravo
solamente dare il mio contributo sul testo della lettera.

Forse il testo è un po' duro; mi permetto di tentare di riscriverla

To: Zyxel International Technical Support - to whom it may concern
Subject: Omni.net USB modem drivers for Linux


Hello,

This is a LUG from Forlì, Italy.
The matter above sure involves many Linux users; we are wondering if there
is a way we can together find to get it fixed.

Zyxel formerly released some modem's specifics such as for either LCD PLUS
and Omni 56K Plus; this gave the linux community the chance of writing
drivers making those modems linux compatible.

Since Zyxel has sold a large number of Omni.net USB modems, we are to ask
you if you are going to release the specifics even for this one. We can
witness it's a good product but its lack of drivers for Linux OS makes it
unusable somehow. We don't want you to write the drivers if you don't mean
it; to us, getting the modem's specifics would be enough for the Linux
community will write the drivers.
The return for your company would be profitable because of many factors such
as, say, the growing number of linux users. We are unable to use this sort
of modem at present but once the whole Linux community will get the drivers,
it could even mean a demand increase for it. The only thing we need is the
release of the specifics.

Please, let us know the company intent about this matter.

Thanks in advance.
Best regards.

PS We can't think you are that shitty stupid to decline our offer and fuck
up your stinky company just for not having thought before that Linux is the
future, bloody bastards sons of verminous trollops. Don't forget that we are
millions to one against. This is an offer you can't refuse or you and your
friend bill gates will go bananas together!


Il PS però direi di ometterlo, non so se siete d'accordo ;)
Aggiungi pure anche me in calce.
