No, S:N ratio in c.d.m. is too low for me. I'm aware of assorted problems
with the earlier V.34+ ROM revs (before we started buying USR Digital
modem racks, we used a fair number of sportsters, and got hit once with a
shipment of 50 V.34+ modems, of which 26 went DAD [dead after deployment]
within a month). But I haven't kept up on any current complaints. So far
as I know, the current Sportster V.34+ modems are adequate for end-user
applications...
