USR Sportster 33.6 faxmodem model 0413 made in
1995. 33.6 is kind of slow by todays standards but do
to the POOR dial up connections in the area where I
live I have found a 28K modem will do every bit as
well as a 56K I am running the same model modem on my
other machine with ML 9.0 and getting it running was a
nobrainer. I have several friends running the same
model modem on ML 9.0 and they also have had no
problems, I would know I am the one that did their
installations.
I am starting to wonder if for some reason KPPP or
some other part of the installation just did not go
well. Or maybe some oddity about the MOBO on this
thing.
I Shure am starting to miss sypheed among other
things.
