I don't see any problems with my USR Sportster 33.6k, regardless of what
I do.
I think it needs to be determined what percentage of USR Sportster are
affected. Also the possibility of modem failure should not be dismissed
either. The Sportster is not well built, and susceptible to electrical
fatigue. I have several Sportster that used to work great, but after
hundreds of hours of use, don't work well connected to anything.
