 I would agree that earlier Sportster modem's manual is looking more like
 a medium sized ad pamphlet... :) but my friend's Generic RPI 14.4 modem's
 manual looks like a pizza ad that you get in the mailbox... :)
 I had just counted the pages in my USR Courier modem... since it does not
 have the regular counting system... I counted the pages between the cover
 (inc. index and stuff)... 254 pages... pretty impressive... and like the
 OS/2 2.1's manual I had... I never have the chance of reading them, just
 flipping through the index for the one command I need... :)
... If you are not confused, you don't understand the situation
