- I'm going to swim against the stream :-). I'm happy with my USR
- Sportster 33.6 external. I had a Supra288Fax modem external on my
- last PC; it had a wonderful display and was perfectly autodetected by
- Win95...fine modem. But the USR connects to my ISP's Couriers at
- noticeably faster speeds; I get 31,200 about one connect in ten, and I
- get fewer connects at sub-28.8 speeds.
-
- This applies only if you connect to 33.6 modems, and you have to put
- up with a minimal display, no Win95 autodetect, and the oddity that
- the modem is recognized only if it is turned on when the computer
- boots, or shortly after the CONNECT button is pressed in Dial-Up
- Networking...but I feel the need--the need for speed! :-)
