- I like it. I replaced a USR Sportster 14.4(which never had problems),
- and I would have to say I was fairly impressed that I haven't had any
- problems with it. BTW, the PnP worked just like it was supposed to
- in Win95. As far the voice mail, I haven't tried it out yet. I'm waiting
- for a new version of QuickLink for Win95, UniModem V drivers(for use
- with Microsoft Phone), or the Procomm Plus for Win95. Speaking of
- Procomm Plus, it works great in ver 2.11, even without the new
- WMODEMS.DAT file. BTW, my modem has the 33.6k support included and it
- works pretty good. I was fairly impressed to be able to play Descent 2
- demo at 33.6! Also, I bought mine from Computability the Thursday before
- Christmas for $220 including overnight shipping, and got it the next
- day!
