Older USR (Junk) Sportsters (king of the junkpile) had problems connecting to the PM3 since they were pretty far out of the V.32bis specs, but hey, thats USR for you... My point about USR - Maybe 3com will just digest them to making Couriers for people with too much money and leave the packard-hell-buying-consumer-market alone, since they cannot seem to make a quality product for less than twice anyone else.
