When I asked for a list of modems so I could point my customers in the
right direction for 56K modems, somebody said to tell them to buy the ones
that had a big red 56K on the box.

I have confirmed that USR is in fact packaging their modems with a big red
56Kon the box along with what appears to be a smaller x2.

Watch out what you tell your customers!!!
