- It is in your best interest to use the same type as your ISP. From previous
- experience with USR I bought a 28800 VI expecting superior performance
- and reliability. WELL I WAS DEAD WRONG, I had nothing but problems with
- it and with USR TECHLESS SUPPORTLESS MORONS for fives months and I
- just gave up and was fortunate to return that peice of (&%&*. I currently
- using a USR 14400 that has been working for over two years, but the next
- modem I get won't be a USR product you can bet your life on that.

- Good Luck.......
