- We're a smallish ISP here in California, and use USR Courier V.Everythings
- exclusively. We started with the earliest versions, and now are running
- the 11/95 Supervisor code on all. We have MANY customers with Global
- Village Platinums, and they all seem to work quite well. The init string
- we recommend is the well known "AT&F1%C1&K3". Again, once we get these
- customers on-line they surf without problems...
-
- Now, the GV Mercury is another story...
