I cannot do that.  They are internal modems and I cannot
remove the computers from the workplace due to security
reasons.
 JM> Being that you are a  network administrator I may

The modems in question are not.  They are being used for
simple dialup access.

This is not the case.

 JM> Sportster modems were never in the SDL channel as the

SDL's never worked on Sportsters?  I thought it did.  I've
always owned Couriers at home.

Lessee... Windows and Mac support only, no other operating
system support... Forget JAVA, it's too slow... no doubt
about what camp 3Com is in. Has the DOJ called you guys to
testify yet?
