Hello Frank

 I assume it is as they recommend using the sportster driver. Mine's an
 internal 1433vqh and the blurb on the box  says it's US Robotics compatible.

 I don't seem to have this problem. I get something like this when
 net surfing but I put it down to the usual bottle neck probs. But
 there are no problems at all when dialling up a BBS. Could there
 be something in my init string that turns it off or am i lucky
 or has Dynalink released a fixed model. I bought mine late August.
 Cheers...Steve
