- > stingray@mbnet.mb.caMy first USR Sportster 28800 VI had many problems. Using my computer
- at work (486 DX2), I could not dial out using Dial-Up Network half the
- time. Using my home computer (486 DX2), I could not use the voice
- function. It never picked-up my phone. So I returned and complained to
- the vendor. They sent me Hayes Optima 288/data/fax/voice at no extra
- charge. So far, it works well.
