    sportsters are decent low-enders, but, there are better, higher end
    USR/3coms out there, and if you are doing alot of this kinda work, it
    either pays to have a backup cheapo sportster or two around, or to really
    invest in a couple of the higher end 'small businnes' designated USR/3com
    modems.

    Thanks,
