hello Mike,  I tried PP modems, Zoom, and have 2 USR modems.  USR modems worked 
out of the box EVERY time.  Zoom and PP worked but needed some ini strings 
changed.  I had a 14.4 sportster and a 28.8 VI w/dsvd and it also worked with 
no problems.  My Courier HST NEVER failed and I have traded up to a USR V.E. 
and it also worked outta the box with Win95.  It's unbelivable the way people 
put them down here.  Just check out the PP and Zoom and the other modem BBS's 
and see what problems they are having.  Only negitive thing about USR is there 
BBS is swamped with mainly simple questions that admitably take weeks to get 
answered, if ever.
