: Are you sure about this?  Compare to current prices, then get back to
: us..

its called a hack

on Sportster 14.4 externals, there is something you can do that USR doesn't
like, but can't prevent...to save money, usr used to use the same
basic parts to make the couriers and the sportsters...
with sporsters with supervisor roms versioned 4.1, i believe, you can
type in this big ass long string which is listed in one of the phrack inc, mags
and enable HST on it..essentially making it a Dual standard modem
(14.4 v.32bis, 16.8k HST)
