- No. It may mean more reliable 28.8 or < connects in the future though as
- the V.34 standard evolves and as upgrades come out. The Sporster does,
- however, do 336 now. IF YOU HAVE VERY VERY HIGH QUALITY TELEPHONE LINES
- and IF YOUR PROVIDER HAS SUCH MODEMS. So itss iffy. I dunno.... on the
- other hand the supra also has a really nice n' useful LED... led or 33.6
- connects in good lines? (urban<->urban)
