Funny... I don't have any problems with the USR Sportsters. I've got
them on 3 different portmasters at 3 different sites. In fact, these
are the only modems that I've tried that I haven't had problems with.
I've tried Zooms, Phoebes, and MicroComs. All have had problems either
connecting, hanging up, resetting or all of the above. The USR
Sportsters are the modems that I have "Standardized" on because
I plug them in and the just work. I'd sure like to hear if others
are having problems with these.
