I could have sworn it said bios, but I confess I didn't stop and trace it letter for letter with Jaws. In that case, what is FIOS? I'm just as perplexed about that! ----- Original Message ----- From: "RAWest" <rawest@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, February 11, 2008 11:29 AM Subject: RE: JAWS and Verizon I thought it was called Fios Also David could you explain what your issues were with Cablevision. I currently use them and have had no problems.

I have no idea why it chose to name itself seemingly after PC technology. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yardbird" <yardbird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Hi David, I have no problem with my own ISP, so I'm not getting into this. But what do you mean by the Verizon bios? I thought bios was a technical term, a programmer's term for some essential component of an operating system, or something like that. Is it also a term that attaches to broadband Internet service providers, or specifically to Verizon's technical specifications? Sorry, I'm just not very technically sophisticated. Thanks for explaining. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Hardingham" <jarhead4@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, February 11, 2008 7:40 AM Subject: Re: JAWS and Verizon Hi, I have used verizon bios for some time. I find it easy to use, very few provider problems and their customer service has been very patient and competent in helping with the few problems I have had. I use jfw 7.1 and jfw 9 and both work well with Verizons. I used to have cablevision and they were awful so I am glad I switched about a year ago.
