- It means your Sportster is actually a 33600, not 28800, for data, not fax
- (which is limited to 14400).

- Running Windows 95, get the latest MDMUSRSP.INF file from USR
- <ftp://ftp.USR.com/usr/dl07/mdmusrsp.inf>, place it in \WINDOWS\INF, use
- Control Panel | Modems to Remove your modem and then Add it back. It will
- still show "Sportster 28800," but will handle speeds up to 33600 given a
- very good connection to another 33600 modem. (I don't see 33600 very often,
- but I do frequently get 31200.)
