- This is a repost to ask all new USR Sportster PnP 33.6K modem owners
- if they can duplicate the same problem I've witnessed. Turn your modem
- on, make sure you have a phone plugged into the jack on the back of
- the modem. Now pick up the phone so that it is offhook. Does the Autoanswer
- LED on the modem come on? Hang up the phone. Does the LED still stay on?
- Even with the modem set to ATS0=0. This is unusual, because I have a
- friend that has a Sportster 28.8K, V.34 that has the 4/95 ROM, and he
- doesn't have this problem. So could this be a design flaw in these newer
- Sportster 28.8Ks that have a totally redesigned motherboard and 33.6K
- ROM? Other than that the modem works GREAT...I get 28.8K connects nearly
- 95% of the time when I call my ISP...So if there are others, experiencing
- this problem please tack your acknowledgement to this post, or send me
- some mail. So far I've had two other people to agree with me....

- As of 1/29/96 I have received about 10 responses from other Sportster
- 33.6K owners witnessing the same problem. If there are others out
- there experiencing this problem, please attach your acknowledgement
- to the end of this post, or reply to me by email. Then after a number
- of days I will collect all articles and send them to USR Technical
- Support via their BBS directly, since hanging on the phone for 30+
- minutes to speak to someone who hasn't a clue as to what your talking
- about..
