I am currently using a mix of Couriers and Sportsters. Users did not have any problems with connections to any of the above. The only problem is that sometimes the Sportsters simply hang and don't accept dialup connections anymore or change the baud rate (so you get noise on your screen), etc. and sometimes not even turning them off helps, you have to reinit and reset them. This never happened with a Courier. So I would definitely NOT recommend a Sportster as an ISP dialup modem, especially not the Voice version, because this one is even more flaky (we have some of those because the normal ones were not available and we needed them badly). I'm switching to a Livingston Portmaster 3 right now and hope to get rid of all those modems ASAP :) -- Blaz Zupan, blaz.zupan@medinet.si, http://www.medinet.si/~blaz Medinet d.o.o., Linhartova 21, 2000 Maribor, Slovenia
