Making a second followup to this.  I had the same problem, with same
modem, both in Win95 DUN, Chameleon TCP/IP for both Win95 and Win3.1,
and Linux.  However, I just replaced my Sportster 28.8 with a ZOOM DUO
(ISDN + 33.6kbps modem) -- now everything works just great!

I also have a shell account at Netcom - where this was never a problem
(Sportster or not).  Seems that Best's modems are incompatible with
those buggy Sportsters.
