- Hello:
-
- I tried the Courier V.everything 28.8 and could not get a decent
- connection out of it. I tried it on different lines, dialed into
- different types of modems, and I never got a 28.8 connection. And a
- lot of times, I would my conection. Most of the time, I got in at
- around 22K. Maybe once I got it to go at 26400. I tried flashing it
- and everything and the thing would still disconnect. Finally, I just
- returned it. I recommend Multitech or Motorola. These companies both
- have great products and excellent technical support. Everytime I call
- Multitech, I actually get a human after the third ring!
-
- Good luck,
-
- Matthew
