PE> Sure, although it has MORE problems than the Viper and the M34F,

BG> Not as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't.

You can close your eyes to the problems if you want, doesn't make
them go away though.

PE> the symptoms of the problems are worse, with a failed connection.

BG> Only the NetComm fails to connect every time with my USR, although forcing 
BG> 26400 from my end appears to have improved the success ratio dramatically.

I thought you said you had the same problems when the Viper was online?

PE> The question is, is the Courier worth $165 more than an M34F,
PE> given that they both have problems? 

BG> It's not for me to say, as only you can determine that, although I know 
BG> several people running USRs, and not one of them has had cause to regret 
BG> their choice.

I would be one of the ones regretting it.  BFN.  Paul.
