- I had similar problems. I had used modem setup to identify my 33.6
- Sportseter correctly using the mdmusrvi.inf file that I downloaded from
- the USR BBS. Although my WIN 95 was able to "finish", there were no
- speeds in the "Maximum Speed" drop down menu to choose from. All software
- was screwy with it.
-
- I downloaded mdmusrsp.inf, and although my modem is now a "Sportster 2800
- Internal" in the modem list, at least it works !
-
- I'm also using this modem with Delrina WinFax Pro 7.0 and I'm having
- problems sending faxes as well as receiving when any of the compression
- boxes are checked.
-
- I also want to know when we'll be able to use Delrina TalkWorks with this
- modem. I'm beginning to think that my "upgrade" from a Practical
- Peripherals 14.4 was a mistake, especially since my ISP only has about 25%
- 28.8's to connect to !
