- Well, your boss may not be too happy with the Sportsters either. I'm
- hearing that the first-release Sportster 33.6 models have their own
- problems. I know another ISP in our area who runs the 28.8 Sporsters
- and reports no (that's 0) problems with them. Of course, the flip side
- is that other ISPs report that large numbers of their customer's
- modems can't connect with USR modems.
-
- As far as the 1.63 ROMs, had another lock up yesterday morning. I can
- count three of them in the last two weeks. One of these died
- completely and won't power on anymore. It's coming out of the pool
- this morning to go back to PPI (to join the eight I sent back two
- weeks ago).
