Hi,

here's a strange problem and I was wondering if anyone has encountered
such a thing with a USR Sporster 33.6k (external).

(1) Computer was setup with a USR Sporster 28.8k (external) for both
    windows 95 and linux, and everything works nicely - regular
    dialup connection AND slip connection.

(2) Purchased a NEW USR Sporster 33.6k and now connections has some serious
    problems on the same computer.  When I type a single character, it would
    take ages for the response to come back to the screen (a lag in response
    from the modem).  If I restrain the speed to 14400, the lag is
    decreased. If I further decrease the speed to 9600 (using at&NX) the lag
    is further decreased.

    What is going on here?  This happens both in Windows 95 and Linux.
    The settings are default from USR.  This problem is unbearable.

    Also occasionally, the modem will hang up even before the connection
    is established. <-- This is even more bizzare.

Any suggestions by email will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Terence Chin
