Subject: (PM) Is Smartlink a USR modem???
>Hey! I just got some ATI info from one of my customers using an Archtek
>Smartlink 56k modem with a Texas Instruments chipset, and it looks
>amazingly identical to USR sportster ATI output. Even the firmware
>revision numbers look similar (same numbering scheme). What's up with
>this??? Is the TI chipset really a USR chipset in disguise? I even
>checked the 3Com website for the product ID that was reported in the ATI
>info from the Smartlink--00178500, and sure enough--it's there! 3Com
>says its a "Sportster 56k/V34/V42b Voice Fax". The only problem is that
>the latest V.90 firmware is from way back in 02/98 (and Sherwood thought
>the 05/98 USR firmware was outrageous). Anyway, I'm thinking that once
>these things gets a newer firmware, maybe I'll start recommending them
>to customers instead of sportsters--They're about $50 cheaper! I know
>Jake swears by these things!
