- Hi,
-
- I keep on reading about the Sportster (and other modems in the same price
- bracket) being called a consumer grade modem. What exactly does it mean to
- call a modem a "consumer grade" modem? I assume that the other end of the
- spectrum would be commercial or production environment modems. Common sense
- woule suggest that it would be the goal of every modem vendor to create a
- solidly performing modem, but I guess marketing forces and economics prevent
- that.
