We've been using Sportster's with *very* good success for full-time connections to our office in MT. These modems have been in use for ~3 years solid with only 2 glitches (during 2 separate storms in a 2 week period both my boss and I lost our modems at home, although the work modems were protected through modem surge protectors). Other than that, we have been pretty happy with them, and although they don't support most of the fancy features of the USR Couriers when doing Sportster <-> Sportster connections they work fabulous. At one point I had a 105 day connection to the office from my apartment that I *hated* to shutdown when I moved into my house. :) Nate
