Don't buy the 33.6 Sportsters for BBS use!!  I bought 10 of the 33.6 
models, and they constantly locked up and quite answering calls.  I sent 
the whole batch to USR and they swapped them for the old 28.8 models.

The 28.8 ones have been rock solid.  Personally, I wish I would have 
bought the Couriers under the sysop plan.
