This is totally unfair to Delrina. Do you have any idea how many
different versions of the USR Sportster 28.8 modems there are out
there that are not compatible with each other? This apparently applies
to the Telepath modems as well. USR keeps making changes to their
firmware but not changing their model numbers/designations. Apparently
the Delrina stuff works with USR modems that have firmware date from
February 96 onward, work with firmware from sept 85 onward for the
most part, and have trouble with prior versions of USR/Gateway
firmware. The fact is that USR/Gateway failed to use an industry
standard when creating the firmware for these modems as well (or the
standard changed from their expectations as they rushed to get their
fast modems on the market before the standard was finalized). The low
volume on voice message playbacks is a flaw in the firmware on board
which neither company seems willing to admit or repair at their cost.
Delrina can not be blamed for wanting to stay clear of this entire
mess. (I have no connection with Delrina).
