- I have a USR Sportster Vi 33.6. You may need the upgraded "INF" file from USR.
- I installed it and had Windows re-detect my modem, and the driver list
- includes a USR 33.6
-
- I connect with Netcom unfailingly at 31.2, and with a couple of local BBS's at
- 33.6. File transfer rates from the Internet usually indicate 3.4 kbs.
-
- Have had NO problems with FAX connections, sending or receiving between
- standalone fax machines and other faxmodems, except when the sender is using
- Microsoft Exchange.
