In fact, if you use the ATI commands on the ?Dynalink, you will see

in one place that it reports it as a USR Sportster and in another

place as a Texas instuments modem,

Yet it is supposedly made by Dynalink.



I wouldn't buy a modem that doesn't know who its parents are.

If a kid doesn't know who his parents are...he is called a bastard.
