I own a sportster. I can't use it with HylaFax's pagesend because it won't
speak to the paging service's modem. Instead I use a ZyXel. I can't reliably
use my Sportster with the Motorolas at the UF CIS department. They often can't
sync up. I once tried to play C&C with one guy who had some off-brand modem
and we could never get a carrier. Sportsters are nice, but they are far from
perfect.
