- This is totally unfair to Delrina. Do you have any idea how many
- different versions of the USR Sportster 28.8 modems there are out
- there that are not compatible with each other? This apparently applies
- to the Telepath modems as well. USR keeps making changes to their
- firmware but not changing their model numbers/designations. Apparently
- the Delrina stuff works with USR modems that have firmware date from
- February 96 onward, work with firmware from sept 85 onward for the
- most part, and have trouble with prior versions of USR/Gateway
- firmware. The fact is that USR/Gateway failed to use an industry
- standard when creating the firmware for these modems as well (or the
- standard changed from their expectations as they rushed to get their
- fast modems on the market before the standard was finalized). The low
- volume on voice message playbacks is a flaw in the firmware on board
- which neither company seems willing to admit or repair at their cost.
- Delrina can not be blamed for wanting to stay clear of this entire
- mess. (I have no connection with Delrina).
