The MeetMe app requires a 1000Hz clock for timing.  This is the timing within
the Zaptel hardware.  The UHCI USB interface can be made to provide this, as
it also generates a 1000Hz clock signal.  While there are other sources of
timing available, they are either not available or they do not provide a
perfect 1000Hz timing source.

You're certainly welcome to moan and complain (preferably off list) for $100
worth of your time, but it isn't going to do any good, and with that $100, you
could have saved it and plunked it down for an X100P.
