- Got to disagree with you on that one - I had a USR Sportster 14k and had
- *nothing* but trouble with it. I got it replaced twice and it still
- wigged out on me regularly. GPFax didn't seem to like it either, proving
- very erratic with it's output.
- However, a switch to a Supra 288 has proved a wise move - everything's
- worked just dandy since day one :)
