- I just got my phone bill and calls to USR tech support came out to about
- $15. It wouldn't be so bad if I got some useful info or a confirmation
- that there are problems with the Sportster 33.6k internal (10/95 v1.1
- firmware) and that they would put me on a waiting list for a corrected
- firmware. Instead, I got nothing except the pleasure of being bumped
- around different levels and getting disconnected. At least they were
- nice enough to warn me about the possibility of getting disconnected.
