- I've tried Cardinal, Supra, Zoom, PowerCom, and now USRobotics Sport
- 28.8............
- Zoom was the absolute pits, followed closely by PowerCom (although it
- had the AT&T chip set - glue & go).
- Cardinal and Supra had their respective points but ultimately....the
- best value buy has to be Robotics Sportster....their tech is rather
- iffy but you can't buy more bang for yr buck. (Got mine for 189.00)
- Good connects on noisy lines without any disconnects (at least that's
- my experience...whereas the others had the aforementioned probs to
- varying degrees.)
