- I want to buy a new modem but can't decide between the Sportster
- and the Courier (twice the price). I don't care that much about
- the Courier flash ROM or about its ability to connect to all sorts
- of different protocols. I want reliable 28.8 (33.6 now, I guess)
- connections for both local and long distance calls.
-
- I have been told that the Courier does a better job adjusting for
- bad line conditions than the Sportster.
-
- Any experiences?
