- For best results to USRs over cellular use HST_CELLULAR if you modem
- supports HST (later Courier codes did away with cellular for some reason)

-
- AFAIK late Sportsters don't support HST Cellular (or have had that
- facility removed in latest ROM/FlashROM files)
-
- You may like to try using a ZoomV34
- in cellular mode which optimises the line level using MNP-10 with ACE
- The remote modem will have to be set capable to auto LAP-M/MNP10
- conversion too tho... AFAIK USRs do not yet support MNP10 Cellular/ACE
-
- BG> Do I need a special cellular modem?
-
- Those specific setups should get you better than 7k2 with an analog
- cellphone directly connected...
