Dynamode is a peculiar company - it has some great pieces of hardware that will work for years, never break, supply tremendous amounts of stability and endurance (for example, the 336-VQH-R), OTOH it sells the crappiest things ever to be named computer products, that will break the second they come in contact with an electric current (for example, the 336-VQH-Ut). This wierd behaviour can be explained by the fact that Dynamode does not really manufacture their hardware - they either b?y them complete from other board assembly houses or assemble them from off-the-shelf boards and chipsets that they buy en-mass. Their 14k External modems were the best ever sold in israel, BTW, and AFAIK - those were the last product that they actually developed and manufactured mostly in-house.
