- Hey, PLEASE put that axe away <grind> <grind> <grind>. I think that the point of
- John's "Urban Legend" stance is valid. Yes, sometimes USR's have problems (just
- like EVERY modem manufacturer), but there are many Sportster users who have had good
- performance and no problems whatsoever.
-
- It just strikes me as ironic that I have seen 4-5 people who were about to RMA their
- Sportsters to USR, when the real problem was that the messed up doing an "ATY11" and
- typed "ATY1", rendering their modems useless to software configured for hardware
- flow control. Problems cannot always be blamed on USR. ;)
