- We have Couriers at our central site and a great many Sportsters for
- users. We get same day turn around on Courier problems. Sportster
- problems were worse until we convinced the USR folks that we really did
- have more then 5,000 users, most with Sportsters, and that if they would
- support us well we would pass the information along to our users and keep
- them off USR's back. So far it's worked great and we're getting same day
- support on all of our products.

- Another way to get support is to buy from a dealer that will provide it.
- Spending an extra $20 on a modem and then getting good tech support from
- that company is valuable. I always recommend this approach to folks
- outside our campus. Good dealers will work through upgrades and many
- other tough issues for you.
