- I just got a 33.6 V34plus Sportster and the highest hookup I've been able
- to get is 26,400. Until more USR Sportsters are sold I don't think you
- will get any better performance unless you hook up to another of the same
- modems or get a better telephone line.
-
- I call a friends BBS who has a USR Courier V everything and I only hookup
- at 26,400.
-
- I do get a good transfer rate uploading and downloading to him with
- 2985-3005 cps.. Compare this to what you already have.
