- The Sportster Vi has apparantly been discontinued. USR no longer has any
- information about it on their web site. However if I remember correctly,
- that modem is based on a Rockwell chipset that offloads most of the work to
- the computer and only is supported by WINDOWS and SPECIFIC SOFTWARE at that.
- You might check the documentation, or if that doesn't tell you anything,
- look at the modem and see if there is a chip with a ROCKWELL name on it...
