- That all depends of your usage! Do you plan to use your modem ONLY in
- a windows environment? If you want to play any dos games, like Doom2,
- Descent, Duke3d, Quake, etc, you WILL want to go with the sportster.
- But if all you'd be doing is connecting within windows (No, a dos
- prompt under windows won't work) you might want to go with the
- WinModem...... Just some advice.
