We have over 600 USR Sportsters all attached to Livingston Portmasters and some
of them, over 200 in fact, have been in continious service for over TWO years.
Now just what is wrong with this picture ? To discredit a great modem like the
Sportster is not very cool, BTW how many do you own ? have you owned ? You may
hear a lot about modems but 99.99% of it is BUNK ! Sportsters work just fine if
you take care of them just as with any other modem. BTW FYI Ascend's Digital
Modems are great !
