Same effect though. Sorry for the delay, I've been away from my mail these days... I'm pretty sure about it, the Sportster Si 14400 is RPI. I think it's the only RPI modem they make, their other crap models are Winmodems. It came out before they "invented" the winmodem, when they needed some low-end model to compete with the "glue'n'go" manufacturers that were selling a lot of RPI modems, thanks to lack of customer information. The price difference from a Sportster to a Zoltrix was somewhat big (at least here in Brazil), and people had a hard time to follow my advice of not buying the RPI's... Thank god, RPI seems to be forgotten nowadays, only the winmodem is still here.

I doubt USR would be making RPI (Rockwell Protocol Interface) modems. Probably it is a form of WinModem. Same effect though. (Actually, Winmodem is even more braindead than RPI; RPI just leaves out the hardware error correction and compression, WinModem leaves out almost everything.) hamish -- Hamish Moffatt, StudIEAust[EMAIL PROTECTED] Student, computer science & computer systems engineering.3rd year, RMIT. http://yallara.cs.rmit.edu.au/~moffatt (PGP key here) CPOM: [ ] 42% -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: NEED info concerning "US Robotics" modem
Any modem that doesn't say "Made for Windoze " should be OK. I use a USR 28.8 external under linux, OS/2 and Windoze 3.1, it works great for all of them.

Just make sure you don't get a "WinModem". Those things are "junk". i.e. you're safe going with external anytime. Also, BTW, I'm using many USR Sportster 33.6 Ext. Faxmodems under mgetty. They work great Terminal and PPP auto-sensing connections works like a charm and was really easy to get going.
