I'm using a Sportster Vi 28.8 to post this !  The difference between
the PC and Mac versions is the plug on the back and the software
included.  Since I already have a Mac to PC modem cable and software
the PC version works fine for me.

Praise: The modem works okay.

Criticism:  What were their hardware design team smoking ?  They
didn't have room for a screw on the left hand side of the case so
they put two on the right !

Criticism #2: USR Tech support is abysmal.
