- I read USR's Web Page. It doesn't give you the test data, so you can see how
- the various modems compare. It simply states USR's opinion that the USR came
- out on top. Give me a break!
-
- USR has had some teething problems such as the spiraling death syndrome. It
- is hard to know if negative comments about USR come from problems that USR
- has already fixed, or if those problems remain.
