- What are the latest dates for the ROM chip on the "old " Sportster v.34,
- ie the one with the socketed ROM chip? The Canadian distributor says its
- 4/18/95, but I've seen some reports here of 8/29/95. Can others confirm
- that the 8/29/95 date is correct for the old v.34 Sportster?

- I just had my whole modem replaced and its working just as poorly. Won't
- connect to other brands, drops the connection, etc. It can't even connect
- cleanly with another USR modem on a consistent basis.
-
- Are the V.34+ upgrades for the old Sportster trouble free? Will I get
- anything other than a new set of headaches for my money?
