Kevin,

I had the power supply blow up on my sportster modem in about 5 minutes!
Called up U.S.Robotics, and they shipped another one out without any problem.
I hadn't even had the time to send in the registration card!  Anyway, the 
power supply that blew up on mine was made by Ault Inc.  ... I'd stay away
from this supply!  The one they shipped me was made by someone else, but 
I can't remember who (I'd look, but since I'm using the modem .... :)

Randy
