I would have no qualms about buying a Sportster for a BBS modem - I even
did that once (the internal V.32bis).

It performed and returned the same stable results as the Courier (V.34+,
and V32 Terbo excepted).

As and when I decide to put another line on the BBS, I will probably get a
Sportster for it.
