Never seen an internal Sportster  but  I   have  seen  the Dynalink

V34+. Sportsters would have to  be  pretty daggy if this  is just  a

rebadge.



The  Dynalinks are  a  cheap  looking  Asian  Modem   with  Sportster

code only.



Not  very stable  from my  experience, either.  But  they do connect

at 33600 and seem  to   hang on quite  well.



If  you  installed it  with  your eyes closed so   you  didn't  have

to  look   at it....and being deaf is a help as well...The  speaker

is as big as   your   little  fingernail and sounds  horrible.





Ya  gets  what  ya pays for.
