                 Anyone using a USR Sportster 28-33k??

I hear all sorts of stories about them not working very well, then I hear that those made after june 95 (?) are ok.

I want to have a modem that is close to state of the art so I can use it for a couple of years without having to update. 

I do not execpt to hook up at 33k with anyone, but what I read says that because of being capible of 33k it makes a good 28k hook up more likely. But then I hear that the 33k chip is buggy and will not hook up to anything but another USR with 33k, and if it does it is at a very low rate.

I read the USR paper on 33k theory, it said that in order to get the higher speed benfits you must use a advanced software package that was free from them. Is this software for the modem or the computer??

I have tried to talk to a real human at USR but just get thier auto message system or voice mail and never get to talk to a earthling.

As a alterative a Motorola Lifestyle was suggested, I know no thing about these are they any good???????
