  26. Maybe the new Sportster is an RPI (Rockwell Protocol Interface)
  27. model, which requires special software to be used properly.
  28. Without this software, you don't get error correction, data
  29. compression, local flow control, or speed buffering.
  30.  
  31. Read the box carefully and make sure it doesn't say anything
  32. about RPI or "special software".
