- Bascially, you need to toggle DTR. I saw this with a 33.6 external Sportster purchased
- very late last November and reported it to USR (in detail) via their BBS. After some
- back and forth with the Tech support rep, it appeared to me that they simply stopped
- replying to my email. After about 3 weeks of playing around, I returned it. Neither my
- old 14.4 Sportster nor my new Courier V.Everything have this problem.
