- Its not going to detect the sportster as a 33600 modem.You have to manually
- Detect it as a Internal USR 28800 or and External 28800 depening on which
- modem you have.Many people out there think that just because they have the
- 33600 upgrade that the new INF File will automatically change the modem
- properties to 33600 but in all reality you still have a Sportster 28800 modem
- which has the capability of achieving 33600 transfers.So dont bang your heads
- out there and think that Win 95 will detect the new upgrade and that Win 95
- should recognize it as a 33600 because it will not automatically detect this
- modem and it will not recognize it as a 33600 modem because its a Sportster
- 28800 and thats what it will always be so stop the creating threads thinking
- there is another file or something that will make a change to this modem and
- Win 95. If USR comes out with a new INF File or something Im sure this
- Newsgroup will be the first to hear it.
