Take a look at their AT command set reference, see some of the perversions they made to it. Now try their new dialing command. Notice how it locks you into pulse dial until you power cycle the unit. Try turning down the volume on your speaker with the documented commands for this. Try it on a noisy line. Trust me, this modem has problems. :-) > to sling mud at modems, probably nothing is more deserving of the > "piece-o-shit" label than the USR's Sportster line. Naw, I couldn't say that about the sportster. "Flaming piece-o-shit" would, I think, be more accurate given their old habit of bursting into open flames if you stacked two on top of eachother. :-) I wouldn't recommend the USRs either, though I have to admit that I use quite a few of them at Walnut Creek CDROM (they're cheap and hardly ever ignite with the new power transformer design). I suppose if you want a nice modem, you have to buy a Fujitsu or a Zyxel, but how many stores do you know that carry those? Exactly. :-( Jordan
