I can understand the Sportster not supporting an HST template, but I'm very 
surprised that &F0 is obviously different between Sportsters and Couriers.  
Funny thing is I don't recall my own Couriers as being any different, but 
then I guess I never had a need to check until now.
I wonder what genius threw in that little gotcha, especially given that even 
the Windows *.inf files for all USR modems has the init string listed as 
AT&F, which presumably defaults to &F0 in the absence of a qualifier (or is 
it &F1 - I can't for the life of me remember now?).
