Yeah, the mind boggles somewhat.

DD> The is ONLY ONE V.34 modem worth considering!

Two actually.  The V.34 Sportster is also extremely reliable.  My new EPROM
arrived the other day (FOC, I might add), and although I had no real
problems anyway, the new chip now allows solid V.FC connects with that one
particular Maestro I was having trouble with (dunno why, as the problem
appeared to be absolutely shithouse lines, and they haven't improved one
iota).

Doesn't matter anyway, you have every right to be biased, as the USR
Courier is indeed the best of the current bunch.  By heaps, too.
