- We agree about USR Sportster modems -- stay away!! However, as for
- USR Courier modems, those are in a different class themselves. I have
- one and zero problems. And if you have a problem, USR support for
- Couriers is by an 800 number. So at least if they make you wait, they
- are paying for it.
