Our recommendation is STILL to buy a courier.  The reliability of the
courier is much higher than most $80 Rockwell modems for home.  However,
80% of the home market is rockwell (K56flex) based.  On the server side,
USR's 56k server solution is not adequate for us, and knowing that shortly
all the modems will be compatible we deemed it better to go K56 right now.

So, we still recommend a Courier and to wait till a standard (Feburary
most likely) to use that Courier to connect to us via 56k.  I think you
will find that most Courier connections at 33.6 will outperform 56k
connections with some $70 modems.
