That is quite possibly due to a USR issue, not a Multitech one.  See 
comp.dcom.modems.

Multitech's like what CRL has (I assume they are using the managed rackmounts)
are not cheap modems by any stretch.  If you had any idea what some ISP's are
running, you'd get the point.

Re: $189, if you're looking for cheap, how about a 28.8 USR clone from some
Baby Bell (Southwestern Bell?) I saw at NCA the other day for something
like $119!
