What Russell should have also told you is that disabling V.42bis data
compression will also temporarily solve this problem (you do this by adding
&K0 to your dialling or init string).

RB> USR Sportster, they have a fix available as we speak)

True, Askey are not known for good after-sales service.

Good advice, particularly as the consumer laws are on their side.
