I'm using USR 28K8 Sportster with AtariNOS 0.42/OASIS & STik/CAB. All
seems to work ok, I also use HSMODEM6. I seem to remember that a item
in Byte magazine said that early 28k8 sportsters suffered from prob-
lems with transfer rate negotiation "the spiraling death syndrome".
Could this be a factor?? with some USR 28K8 users?? The only problem
Ihave is with OASIS not flaging that new mail has arrived.

I will post my modem hardware/firmware data (from the ATI7 command).
I perchased the modem only a few weeks ago.
