Get a real Class 2 modem, or fall back to class one.  There were many
reports about 2 to 3 months ago that Sportsters were broken in this way.

The lack of subsequent reports suggests one or more of:

- USR have fixed the firmware;
- they have withdrawn the product;
- people have been warned off and don't try.

NB the Courier and Sportster models are rather different.  I think the
problems were reported on the Sportster only.
