- I owned one of those Deskportes for a while... it's not horrible like
- a Sportster, but it isn't as good as a Supra 288. And the Courier is
- in another (higher) class altogether. Right now for general home use
- I recommend the Supra 288 (external is worth it for the 2-character
- LED matrix, but internals work nicely too.) People who need long
- up-time and many modems should go straight for the USR Courier Total
- Control system.
-
- I do NOT recommend the Supra Express until they make it a little more
- user-configurable. The Plug-and-Play stuff has a nasty habit of
- pigging out on COM1 no matter what.
