They used to be good. The 33.6 Sportster I have sucks the giant wazoo
of death. As I understand it, if you bought one of the super el-cheapo
ones a year or two back, they were el-cheapo because there was a known
flow control bug and they were trying to dump them all before going to
56K modems. And they were ***AWFUL*** about trying to upgrade the
ROM's, pulling the Microsoft trick of denying the problem and trying
to blame your computer or software.
I no longer buy or recommend USR: they weren't as bad as Zoom, but
they were working on it for a while.
