- No Problem! My testing shows NO IMPROVEMENT with the 10/18 ROM
- used in the latest Sportster. It NEVER ONCE has got even a 28.8
- connection. Other modems I use such as Supra, PPI get and MAINTAIN 28.8
- connection over 50% of the time. Another example of USR hyping up and
- pushing to market something that does not have the bugs worked out yet!
