- Thanks, John. I wish people would *not* buy these cheap modems which
- depend on software for their functionality. All the really happens is
- that many questions starting popping up in all kinds of support news
- groups. Please purchase solid, hardware-oriented modems. They just
- work *better*. My $0.02 ($0.01US) worth. ... John Hurst
- BTW, I use and am very happy with my "real" Sportster 28.8.
