I guess you didn't read the whole message where I commented that the
USR Sportster 28.8 I used to use worked fine with no problems
whatsoever.  I haven't much faith in a modem (the 33.6) that isn't
identifiable by Windows 95 even with the latest .inf file direct from
USR.  And I am well aware of the Courier range.
