- I just got a USR Sportster Winmodem last week and am very pleased
- with it so far. It is indeed PnP, all I did was pulg it in
- installed the driver disk and off we go. I am using Win95 though,
- are you?
-
- As for the speed, there must be something really wrong with you
- setup, I consistently connected to the ISP here at 28.8kps (~95% of the
- time) and sometimes get a thru-put of ~6kb/s when using the web.
- FTP is usually around 3.3 kb/s, so that's not too bad at all.
-
- I am just hoping that the 33.6k upgrade will be here soon since my
- ISP do have Courier.
