- Practical Peripherals PS288T2-EZ is a good bet. I've also heard good
- things about Simple and Motorola. I have a Sportster, and it's been
- hell to configure. However I've grown pretty dependent on those
- Dataview blinking lights. Check out all the messages in the USR forum
- on Compuserve, and that should clue you in to USR.
- I use a Toshiba T400CS and I have a new Practical if you're
- interested. It conflicted badly with a goofy DOS program I'm required
- to use for work (I could only connect at 9600), and that's how I ended
- up with USR. I didn't even get a chance to send the warranty card in.
- If you have any interest, please e-mail. Good luck!
